Oswald's Book of Hours

"The Northumbrian King Oswald (reigned 635-642 AD), was a warrior, evangelist, hunter and scholar ... [this book] is a series of elegies and eulogies for Oswald redivivus, written in the voices of an unlikely band of northern subversives, including NUM leader Arthur Scargill, hermit Richard Rolle, brigand John Nevison, Catholic rebel Robert Aske - and Oswald himself"--Back cover.
