Cyril Walter Hodges (18 March 1909 26 November 2004) was an English artist and writer best known for illustrating children's books and for helping to recreate Elizabethan theatre. He won the annual Greenaway Medal for British children's book illustration in 1964. During a year spent in New York he wrote and illustrated Columbus Sails (1939), a work of historical fiction for children. It proved popular on both sides of the Atlantic. Its success eventually led to several others including The Namesake: A Story Of King Alfred and its sequel The Marsh King. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This book has been read, very minor wear to covers from normal storage, previous owner signed inner cover, no other markings inner pages, spine intact, no creases. "It begins -- ""I, Alfred the One-legged.being now an old man," and continues in the tradition of the most ancient storytellers to celebrate the victories of a king and the miracles of the holy. Set in the days of King Alfred, his name-sake grew up, in spite of the constant Danish war parties descending on East Anglia and in spite of his amputated leg, to become a trusted secretary to the King. The Danes were all, "Cut, sack, burn, drink and swipe," so the war orphaned Alfred lived with monks and left with them when their monastery was pillaged. The depth of early Christian faith was continually overshadowed by the not wholly abandoned superstitions. The crippled boy fought to conquer his disability and serve as a scribe to the King who shared his name. The dialogue is heroic and the descriptions of battles and raids have visual impact. A vividly detailed recreation of a brutal time with action, adventure and history to hold the boys in thrall." Good Reads "Cyril Walter Hodges was a writer, an illustrator and a Shakespeare scholar." Good Reads.
