Feared pirates, intrepid navigators, skilled craftsmen - these are the bold Vikings who erupted into history at the end of the eighth century and forged the destiny of nations.
The Vikings takes you into the lives of ordinary people living in these extraordinary times and introduces you to their myths and mythological beings. Interwoven throughout are tales of famous Norse adventurers and excerpts from the Icelandic sagas. The dramatic beauty of jewellery and artefacts in gold, silver, bronze and stone created by the Vikings are revealed in full colour illustrations that bear testimony to this sophisticated civilisation.
