520 _a"Edwy the Fair or the First Chronicle of Æscendune" by A. D. Crake is a historical novel set in the days of the Anglo-Saxon England, likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the infamous figures of King Edwy, his cousin Elgiva, and the ecclesiastical power represented by the monk Dunstan, exploring the tumultuous relationship between crown and church. As the story unfolds, readers can expect to delve into themes of love, ambition, and the moral struggles faced by the characters in a time marked by political intrigue and personal sacrifice. The opening of the novel introduces us to the peaceful and picturesque setting of an English forest during May, where two brothers, Elfric and Alfred, engage in playful banter while out hunting. This idyllic moment quickly escalates into a dramatic encounter when they come to the aid of a young man, Prince Edwy, who is struggling against a wolf. This first chapter sets the stage for their imminent adventures, establishing Elfric as a brave and protective character, especially as Edwy emerges as a charming but impulsive prince. The narrative hints at the intertwining of their fates, laying a foundation for the complex dynamics of kinship, loyalty, and the burdens of leadership that will shape their intertwined destinies throughout the story.
