Factology: Vikings: Open Up a World of Information!

By: Button Books

Book Overview

Factology: Viking is a fact-packed introduction to this iconic time in history, presented in maps, timelines, diagrams and statistics.

Did you know that the Vikings weren't just one people? The pillaging pirates who raided Europe's coasts came from all over Scandinavia, and lots of people from those countries never even picked up a sword - they preferred to stay at home and farm their land; thank you very much

This visually stunning history guide will transport you back in time to meet the real Vikings, including skilful shipbuilders, the explorers who 'discovered' North America and Greenland, and the fearsome warriors who ruled over England. Learn about their remarkable rune system, the war of the Norse gods, how they traded with far-flung civilizations, and much more
