The Vikings by Michael Gibson
This book brings to life the rugged, seafaring people of Scandinavia at the height of their power. When Viking warriors were masters of the seas and all Europe feared their attacks. The Vikings are also shown as farmers and settlers, craftsmen and builders, people with an enlightened form of parliament. This book describes the amazing travels of Viking sailors, who traded with the peoples of Greece and Persia, and were the first to make the perilous journey across the Atlantic to America, the great continent in the west.
