There is a gift inscription to a former owner on the front free end paper (Sept. 20. 1959). The orange cloth covers are in Poor condition, with wear and rubs to edges and corners and noticeable fading. The dust jacket is in terrible condition, with serious wear and missing paper, all covered by clear mending tape. Given these serious condition problems, this should be considered a reading copy only.

Elfwyn and Judith, young English captives in the Danish camp hear Guthrum's plans for attack and decide to warn Alfred.
