Exploring the Life, Myth, and Art of the Vikings
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 takes 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.

Book Review: Exploring the Life, Myth, and Art of the Vikings"This well-written and wonderfully illustrated work on Viking life is a gem. Allan has chocked it full of interesting figures and used a prose that is accessible without being condescending. If this title is any indication, this series must be the best one Rosen has put out to date!"
--Lee Miller, Gainesville State School
