I enjoyed this work because, apart from what little I knew about this seminal figure in the dawn of British history I wanted to get as many different viewpoints as possible, both factual and fictional. This book has started to further my search, bur for the moment I have the basic truth of the legend that is Boudicca. Recommended.

One version of an imagined truth.
