King Alfred’s Jewel is a historical novel set in 9th century England during the reign of King Alfred the Great. The story follows the adventures of a young Saxon girl named Ethelwynn who is tasked with protecting a precious jewel that belongs to the king. Along the way, she encounters Norse invaders, treacherous nobles, and a mysterious monk who may hold the key to the jewel’s true significance. As Ethelwynn struggles to fulfill her duty and unravel the jewel’s secrets, she also grapples with her own identity and place in a world torn apart by war and political intrigue. Written by Katrina Trask in 1909, King Alfred’s Jewel is a thrilling tale of courage, loyalty, and honor set against the backdrop of one of England’s most turbulent periods.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
