Viking age Author: Kristen Wolf

ISBN: 9781454909064 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 272 Published: 5 November 2013 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 20.3 x 15.2 x 2.5 Description: Though infamous for their pirating and raiding, active Vikings were actually only a tiny fraction of the total Scandinavian population during the so-called Viking Age. This exploration of their culture goes beyond the myths into the prosaic realities and intimate details of family life; their attitude toward the more vulnerable members of society; their famed longships and extensive travels and the role they played in the greater community. In addition to images and maps, a timeline lays out Viking history.
