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 Everyday Life, Art and Culture, discover chieftains, merchants and slaves, and the Viking towns and buildings they lived in. Examine the skill with which they made beautiful objects and attend a Viking feast. Inside you'll find amazing artefacts made of silver, iron, pottery and horn as you venture into the incredible world of the Vikings. Book jacket.
