L'autore:
Melvyn Bragg is renowned for his filmed features and interviews with writers, artists and actors on his long-running British television program The South Bank Show. His interest in the Dark Ages began during his studies at Oxford University and his idea for The Sword and the Miracle emanated from his discovery of a small church dedicated to St. Bega, near his hometown in England's Lake District. One of the most prominent figures in British media and arts, he is the chairman of the hit BBC radio series Start of the Week and controller of arts at London Weekend Television. He lives in Hampstead Hill Gardens, London.

She, bearing a fragment of the true cross, is gifted with miraculous powers; he is a swordsman without peer. Their disparate missions send them apart as they travel throughout the frigid wilderness of a primitive England beset by terror and villainy. Faith is pi
