In 1066
Turned Upside Down, each writer envisions a fascinating “what if”
version about that fateful year in England's history. And with each outcome,
modern man would have inherited a much different world, in some instances
giving rise to my notion of “too bad it didn’t happen that way.”
I must confess to not
knowing much about this time in England’s long history. However, having read
James M. Hockey’s excellent “Edith Fair as a Swan: Tales of Bowdyn 3” (an excellent
series, by the way), I was at least familiar with King Harold’s “common wife
Edith.
Because of this, and the excellent Foreword by C. C. Humphreys, I enjoyed the “what if” scenario in 1066 even more.
