This book is a guide to the Viking impact on the
Wirral. It includes reprinted illustrated essays from F. T. Wainwright,
John McN. Dodgson, J. D. Bu'lock and W. G. Collingwood, on the history,
art and names of the region. And the work is brought up to date by original
contributions from Simon C. Bean, Stephen E. Harding, Judith Jesch and
Andrew Wawn on recent developments in the history, archaeology, scholarly
and popular interest in the Wirral. It is completed by a gazetteer examining
the origins of the major names, which also forms an index to the volume.
The book provides absorbing reading and is an
important resource for anyone interested in the past of the Wirral and
the origins of its names.
