The Vikings and All That

By Allan Burnett and Scoular Anderson

The Vikings looted, plundered, pillaged and burned their way from their native Scandinavia to the British Isles and much of Europe. Packed with fantastic, fun illustrations of everything from the Vikings' warships to their favorite board games, this is the book that answers all the key questions. For sensible answers, packed with historical facts and thoughtful revelations about the Vikings' civilized side, look no further. But for boatloads of bearded, shield-biting maniacs bearing down on defenseless, sandal-wearing villagers, then this is definitely the right book!
