ABOUT THE BOOK: Beautiful short tales, simple enough for children but for adult too. These tales are about Viking adventures exploring the world. They went as far as the U.S. Imagine them braving the Atlantic Ocean on their magnificent Viking ships. Their forays out of mother land Norway resulted in settlements in Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, France. An extremely well written book. The short sentences yet contiguous with the next have simplicity and straightforwardness as its style. Very refreshing indeed. This is a good introduction to Viking lore. There is a nice glossary describing the types of houses Viking lived in, the weapons they used, and some of the gods they worshiped. Thus, this is a charming little book narrating the tales of two of the greatest Viking leaders in History.
