They, and many other treasures, are included in The Anglo-Saxon World: chronicles, laws and letters, charters and charms, and above all superb poems. Here is a word picture of a people who came to these islands as pagans and yet within two hundred years had become Christians,\n\u003cbr\u003eto such effect that England was the centre of missionary endeavour and, for a time, the heart of European civilization.  Kevin Crossley-Holland places poems and prose in context with his skilful interpretation of the Anglo-Saxon world; his\n\u003cbr\u003etranslations have been widely acclaimed, and of Beowulf  the poet Charles Causley has written, 'the poem has at last found its translator'.
