Explorers, traders, warriors and craftspeople — the Vikings were far more than their fearsome reputation suggests, and this leading title from the bestselling Eyewitness series captures all of it. Stunning colour photographs and illustrations bring centuries of Norse history to vivid life, from bloodthirsty raids and far-reaching trading voyages to the skilled handiwork for which these remarkable people were also known. Sail a warship, witness a sea burial, brandish a sword and discover the sagas that illuminate Viking origins and beliefs. Packed with information, infographics, statistics, facts and timelines in the trusted Eyewitness format, it’s a rich resource for younger readers and school projects alike — and the giant fold-out Viking wall chart makes a handy addition to any bedroom or classroom wall.
