With 80 colour and 40 black-and-white illustrations. The Vikings have a bad reputation. Their activities are equated with rape and pillage and their name for brutality is second only to that of the Vandals and the Huns. Yet they have also been invested with a strange glamour which contradicts in many ways their fearsome image. Covers Viking crafts, ships, houses, beliefs, dress, art & ornament, weapons, textiles, the coming of Christianity and more.
