    So Good I Bought Two Copies

    Brings the Vikings back to life! A great book for the adult reader or for the 12-20 group. Richly illustrated with photographs and imaginative paintings, this book will make the reader want to know more about the Vikings and their influence on present-day Europe and America. A great gift to pull the teenage son or grandson away from the video games.
