A real WTF moment

Towards the end of last month I decided to give myself a bit of a kick in the pants about continuing with A Fierce Reaping - I've left it so long for one reason and another that the voices in my head are sulking - and chose to do it by getting myself some inspirational works. With one exception they are one penny plus postage books from Amazon market place. Jarman's translation of Y Gododdin [the OMG exception], books on the Dark Ages in the Uk and in Europe, both illustrated by the late great Angus MacBride plus two scholarly works on King Arthur's life and times [as close as I'm going to get to AD 590 for a penny].

At least I assumed they were scholarly and I'm still prepared to give The Age of Arthur by John Morris the benefit of the doubt, but the other one ... ( oh dearie me. )
