Đây, được giải thích như cho một bạn 10 tuổi:

Bede là một tu sĩ trầm lặng ở miền bắc nước Anh, gần như không bao giờ rời tu viện của mình, nhưng ông đã viết lịch sử thật sự đầu tiên về người Anh. Ông kể cách Kitô giáo đến nước Anh, vua này đến vua khác và sứ mệnh này đến sứ mệnh khác, với phép lạ, các thánh dũng cảm và những trận chiến dữ dội xen lẫn. Ông làm việc cẩn thận, nêu tên các nguồn của mình như một phóng viên giỏi. Đọc Bede, bạn gặp nước Anh khi nó còn trẻ và hoang dã.
