They were roving warriors, but Vikings also had a distinctive and fascinating culture all their own. Graced with Federica Magrin's fun and jaunty illustrations, this introduction for readers 4 to 8 delves into life in a Viking village; explains their role as explorers of the New World; introduces their gods—including Thor, Freya, Loki, and Odin—and recaps the classic tale of Beowulf. Also included here are press-out cardboard figures, with a stand for each.
