So, it is fair to say that his heart isn't really in it.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Conrad is also clever, charming, entirely self-serving, self-absorbed and almost completely without scruple -- but in Anglo-Saxon England, when the Danish invaders come calling, those are very helpful attributes to have.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e And so it comes to pass that Conrad finds himself constantly dodging death by various means, some reasonable, some... less so. His tricks include selling his brother monks into slavery, witnessing the death of a king, juggling his loyalties between his own people and the Danes, robbing corpses and impersonating a bishop.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e By his side throughout is the gentle and honourable Brother Odo, a man so naturally and completely good that even animals sense it. He is no match of wits for the cunning Conrad but can he, perhaps, at least encourage the wayward monk to behave a little better?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eConrad Monk and the Great Heathen Army\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e takes the reader on a hugely entertaining and highly informative trip through the Anglo-Saxon world, in the company of a persuasive and likeable -- if frequently despicable -- tour guide.
