The Vikings (Spotlights)

By Neil Grant

Book Overview

More than 1,000 years ago, the Vikings were the most powerful people in Europe. Their homeland was Scandinavia--the countries we know as Denmark, Sweden, and Norway--but their search for more land and trade made them into great travelers and explorers. In this volume, Neil Grant explores and explains the Viking world, devoting each double-page spread to a particular aspect of life in Viking times. From farming and religion to ships, navigation, and war, Vikings provides a complete picture of life during this fascinating period.
