About this listen

Walk in the footsteps of William the Conqueror with Blue Peter Award winning author David Long, who expertly unearths the captivating history, culture and legacy of the Norman era.

In 1066, William the Conqueror led a formidable army across the English Channel, changing the course of British history. Descended from fierce Viking raiders, the Normans became ruthless rulers who built monumental castles, established a new social order and merged their customs with those of the English people. From the grandeur of their fortresses to the harsh realities faced by the common people, discover the intricate tapestry of life during the Norman era.

Through vivid storytelling and captivating illustrations, this book invites young readers to explore the triumphs and trials of the Normans and understand their lasting impact on our world today.
