Collaboratively researched, compiled, and edited by academicians and historians Frederick M. Biggs, Thomas D. Hill, Paul E. Szarmach and E. Gordon Whatley, with the assistance of Deborah A. Oosterhouse, Sources Of Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture is the first volume of a series of scholarly examinations of Anglo-Saxon literary culture. This is an extensive, comprehensive, scholarly, bibliographical enriched reference that surveys and analyses the archaic literary sources provided by and concerning the Abbo of Fleury, the Abbo of Saint-Germain-des-Pres, and the Acta Sanctorum in minute, painstaking detail. Enhanced with an informative Foreword by Paul E. Szarmach, an Introduction by Thomas D. Hill, an invaluable "Guide For Readers" by Frederick M. Biggs, as well as an extensive, sixty-one page Bibliography, Sources Of Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture is a seminal and core addition to academic Anglo-Saxon Literature and European History reference collections.

okay, so i don't own the book, but the poem is exquisite, and i've been a fan of it since childhood. unlike the independent publisher, i don't think that children are ever too little to be exposed to poetry or art, and murray kimber's work is stunning. perhaps if they read the poem they'd figure out where the horse motif comes from. jeez, guys, maybe you could sound a bit more pompous and uninformed if you tried, but i don't see how.
