Odinn's Child: The Heroes of the North Live On (Viking Trilogy)8 reviews
Tim Severin
Macmillan UK, 2005
Simply Amazing
Wow. I loved this book. I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy. I won't go into detail like some already have, but I will say I was in awe by page 20. Tim's style is easy going and fun. I felt like a friend was telling me a story over some brew. If you are a fan or a believer in the Old Ways, you won't be sorry with this one.

Viking Tales (EasyRead Super Large 18pt Edition)4 reviews
Jennie Hall
ReadHowYouWant, 2007
A valuable resource
Hall writes of the Norse legends and travel tales of Iceland, the stories of kings and battles of ship sailing. These stories have three values. These adventure tales, including the discovery of America (named Vinland) by the Norse, are a gripping chronicle of the human desire for exploration and a tantalizing glimpse of what would many centuries later become the New World. Anyone interested in ...

Space Viking 16 reviews
Henry Beam Piper
Echo Library, 2008
A science fiction classic!
I picked this book up the other day at a used bookstore. I decided to do this when I saw that the book was in better shape than the one I have in the basement and the price was great (only $3.00, not bad at all for a book that I love). Having picked it up, I immediately started to read Space Viking (again for the upteenth time). As with many of Mr. Piper's books, Space Viking is as much a look ...

The Saga of Erik the Viking4 reviews
Terry Jones
Pavilion Books, 1999
Entertainment at it's NORDIC BEST!
The boys from Monte Python have done it! After reading this book, I was thoroughly satisfied. I don't know what I expected to find within, but the impulse buy was worth it. The illustrations are lovely, and the stories are filled with meaning that you will carry with you always. The tales weave into each another to make on big journey. Each ends up with a moral, therefore making it important ...

A History of the Vikings12 reviews
Gwyn Jones
Oxford University Press, USA, 2001
Incredibly Informative, but a Real Challenge
Unless you're an extremely knowledgeable expert on Viking history, you can't ask for much more than this opus from Gwyn Jones if you're at all interested in the subject. Jones presents a nearly overwhelming amount of detail on the far-flung history of the Vikings, from tribal origins in Scandinavia to their voyages of conquest and trade as far afield as Constantinople and Newfoundland. When ...

Wonderful blending of science and history
_Saxons, Vikings, and Celts_ by Bryan Sykes is the author notes on page one the first book of its type, one on the genetic history of Britain and Ireland (which he refers to as the Isles throughout the book), using DNA as the main source of information. Having looked at much larger issues in the human past he wanted to "dissect the intimate genetic make-up of a smaller region," to look at the ...

The Story of Rolf and the Viking Bow (Living History Library)4 reviews
Allen French
Bethlehem Books, 1995
An excellent saga
The Story of Rolf and the Viking Bow is one of the best recrafted narratives I have ever read. Allen French brought to life this story that he originally found as one of the Kolbieters. (The Kolbieters, founded by JRR Tolkien, was a group of friends that read ancient verse in their original languages.) I would recommend it to any history buff, Tolkien fan, fantasy reader, or just any one ...

Very Entertaining and Informative!
We thoroughly enjoyed this book during our unit study of the Vikings. I read the whole book aloud to my 8yo daughter and 5yo son over the course of several days. They found it fascinating and so did I.
It is written in such a way that it is *very* complete and encompasses a HUGE amount of information on the vikings, yet it is also still very accessible and quite enjoyable. The ...

The Love of Vikings
Having spent years of listening to stories told by my Bedstamor about Denmark and all the lovely places she used to live near that had an abundance of Viking artifacts, it was a thrill to see many of the Viking symbols described in those stores come to life in the sweaters! I adored the detail about where each design came from along with a photo of the artifact that inspired the cable pattern. ...

The Penguin Historical Atlas of the Vikings (Hist Atlas)12 reviews
John Haywood
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1995
Best Resource for Beginning Scandophiles
This atlas is one of the best possible collections of our knowledge about early Scandinavia. Although the term "Viking" is in the title, hopefully by reading this book you will learn that there was a whole lot more to primitive, expansionist Scandia. The book also does a great job of talking about all the players in Norden, rather than just the traditional trio. I'm a Scandinavian Studies student ...

The Vikings: Revised Edition10 reviews
Else Roesdahl
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1999
Decent overview of the Viking era
_The Vikings_ by Else Roesdahl was a fairly thorough if sometimes a little dry account of the Viking Age, a time that lasted about 300 years, from just before AD 800 until well into the 11th century. The Vikings were a tremendously influential people, playing a decisive role in many areas of Europe; their mark is still seen today in numerous loan-words in the English language; many place-names in ...

Steve Silverman
Triumph Books, 2007
The name "Vikings" is fitting for a football team from a northern state, and the Minnesota football club, like the Vikings of old, has its own legends and history--and not all of it is glorious. From Bud Grant to Mike Tice, from Fran Tarkenton to Daunte Culpepper, and from Cris Carter to Randy Moss, the Minnesota Vikings have always seemed to be a fascinating mix of good, bad, and ugly. Their stories are collected in this book that ...

Book captivates and informs childrem!
"The Vikings" is a very informative book which captivated my childrens attention! They could hardly wait for each day's new reading. My 2nd-7th grade children enjoyed learning about the exciting adventures of Leif Erikson and the Viking explorers. We all learned much from this well written introduction to America's earliest explorers and we highly recommend it!
