Why did some realms – like Wessex, Northumbria and Gwynedd – prosper while others fell? And how did their communities adapt to the catastrophic changes of their age? Drawing on Britain ’ s ancient landscape and bringing together new archaeological revelations with the few precious fragments of surviving written sources, Williams spectacularly rebuilds a lost past.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49483009098016,"sku":"9780008171988","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780008171988.jpg?v=1785325063","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/lost-realms-pb-thomas-williams-9780008171988","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
