Discover the Vikings: Warriors, Exploration and Trade

The Vikings were the people who lived in Scandinavia around 1,200 years ago. Later, these fearsome, seafaring folk raided and settled in other places, including Britain, northern France and Iceland. The Viking Age in Britain may have ended in 1066 when the Normans invaded England, but Viking culture continues to inspire and influence the world we live in today. In Warriors, Exploration and Trade, discover formidable warriors who fought for their kings and chieftains and explored new lands. Examine the longships they went trading and raiding in and the impressive weapons they fought with. Inside you'll find amazing artefacts made of wood, iron and stone as you venture into the incredible world of the Vikings. Book jacket.
