Beskrivelse
A gripping retelling of one of Britain's most famous archaeological discoveries, set against the tense backdrop of 1939. This story captures the excitement and drama of an extraordinary dig on a Suffolk farm just before the outbreak of war.
An engaging portrayal of the historic Sutton Hoo excavation and the people involved.
As Britain braces itself for the looming war, a different kind of anticipation builds on a riverside farm in Suffolk. Mrs. Petty, the widowed landowner, has long suspected that the unusual mounds on her property conceal something valuable. Her instincts are soon confirmed, sparking a remarkable archaeological dig.
John Preston vividly brings to life the Sutton Hoo excavation, the most significant Anglo-Saxon find in British history. Over three intense months, the story unfolds with locals clashing with outsiders, professionals competing with amateurs, and a mix of love and rivalry adding to the drama.
This brilliantly crafted narrative captures both the humor and tension of the dig, making it a compelling account of a momentous discovery.
