Each double-page spread in this book looks at an important part of Viking culture and illustrates some of the significant evidence - archaeology, artefacts, arts and written sources - that enables us to reconstruct and understand their buildings, technology, jewellery and daily routine. Readers can see the sleek and powerful dragon ships raiding and plundering deep inland, visit the hot and sooty workshop of a master smith, and uncover the evidence for the Viking discovery of North America.
