Medieval Icelandic authors wrote a great deal on the subject of England and the English. This new work by Magnús Fjalldal is the first to provide an overview of what Icelandic medieval texts have to say about Anglo-Saxon England in respect to its language, culture, history, and geography. Some of the texts Fjalldal examines include family sagas, the shorter þættir, the histories of Norwegian and Danish kings, and the Icelandic lives of Anglo-Saxon saints.
An English castle, secret passages, sliding doors, Army secrets, spies, and a fierce storm, mixed well with a group of lively children spending a summer in a hilly country village, results in a surprise holiday packed with adventure. Jack's interest in birds leads him to the deserted castle, but strange signals and curious doings hold him there. Mystery Island readers will be glad to meet again the kindly detective, Bill Smugs, and the personality parrot, Kiki. Miss Blyton is a favorite adventure story writer in England and boys and girls here will enjoy her fast moving tales.
This book focuses on the delivery of public examinations offered by the main examining boards in England since Victorian England.
