The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle #624 Everyman's Library
My copy of the Chronicle is Everyman's 1912 edition translated by Rev James Ingram in 1823. The translation from the original Old English has a strong religious slant which is not at all surprising since the Chronicle was written by clergy sanctioned by Kings and the Venerable Bede.
Read a portion of this, but as much of it is 'notes' on the election of bishops, etc. it gets fairly tedious to get to the few lengthier narratives. This doesn't diminish its importance as a historical document, it just isn't very readable.
Still the standard book for analogues.
