[designer: run around the pic of the apple tree on the hill. NB the author has pointed out that the tree was at the top of a hill so could you factor in a slope onto the design on the back?]
Sussex, October 1066. On a hilltop stands a solitary wizened grey apple tree.
Here two armies - Norman and Saxon - will face one another.
Here two bitter rivals - William and Harold - will lead their men into battle.
And here two forces will fight for the ultimate prize.
The Battle of Hastings. A battle for honour. A battle for survival. A battle for England.
'Lovingly written, brilliantly researched, with a sure eye and heart for the characters and the time. These aren't strangers; they are real people battling with real events' Robert Low

On the top of the hill stands a solitary grey apple tree, the symbol of all that England is. In less than a week this will be the scene of the greatest battle in living memory.
At the grey apple tree two armies will face one another. Two men will lead those armies. And two forces will become one - a victorious nation, a valiant army, a conqueror.
This is a battle for honour, a battle for survival. This is a battle for England.
