Book Description:

The Vikings have been portrayed as seafaring, ax-wielding warriors, but an examination of their art, religion, and culture shows us an entirely different and docile peoples. This book helps readers take a closer look at the art, artifacts, and history of the Vikings and their gods. With engaging chapters, detailed maps, and bright full-color photographs, this book gives the Norsemen the historical appreciation they deserve.
