DK Eyewitness Books: Viking: Discover the Story of the Vikings―Their Ships, Weapons, Legends, and Saga of War Hardcover – December 21, 2009

Nice short reader, lavishly illustrated with photos of artifacts and relics. A good highly visual suplement to any study on the topic. Great for all readers, from children to adult experts even, who will enjoy the illustrations and photos of actual artifacts, lacking in the more scholarly texts.

Bought these two books for grandson, that reads everything Viking. The text and pictures are vivid and keep him coming back again and again. Must have!

I purchased this book to share with my younger cousins. This is a very comprehensive bookabout their Viking heritage.

During a conversation with a local neighbor, the young lad told me of his exposure to the Vikings in his school class. 'Eric Blood Axe', was exuberant in these new studies and I thought this book would be a good addition to expand his knowledge and interest. I know that I was at his age!

Greag book, lots of information and of course wonderful color pictures that DK never disappoints with. Bought the book for a 6 and 9 year old.

A few typos, but great resource for kids to learn

Short book, quick read. Profusely illustrated and well researched. Comes with a poster and clip art CD. What I liked most was the comprehensive coverage of where the Norse lived, their roles in society, their diets, their daily life. It is a book that thankfully dispels myths of Norse people as savages. Infact, culturally, they were ahead of their time in metal working, commerce, navigation and ship design. They made goods and did a lot of trading, and sailed far and often resettled because of the need to feed people.

My Dad has got our family history back to the Vikings so he will love this book. Very well made and the pictures and stories are awesome.

these books. and ive bought quite a few. are very well illustrated, informative, and easy to navigate for younger kin, for school projects, and just general reading. thumbs up

This is an amazing book, and you will definitely learn a lot about many important history facts. Received new book in great condition and awesome packaging.

Great Bòok, Great Service

This book is very informative and has excellent photography. Good for learners about 8 years to teens but engaging for adults as well.

Très contente
