Take to the seas with the vicious Vikings, and get a whiff of life on board their famous longships packed with animals and seasick sailors. You'll need a strong stomach for the stormy voyages. Watch their bloody battles, and the gruesome disemboweling of their defeated enemies, then delight in the fragrant feasts they held to celebrate their victories.

This small paperback has a surprising amount of information. There are "vile" scratch and sniff areas (and some pleasant ones as well) in this book, but they also serve to show that the "Vikings" are not as vile as everyone else makes them out to be- they also made important contributions to history and civilization as we know it.It's a wonderful book to introduce young (or old) readers to Norse culture. You will find it an (almost entirely) accurate account which will encourage you to learn more. I also recommend the treasure chest "The Vikings" by Fiona MacDonald as a companion to this book. Both were definitely worth the money I paid for them, and will become part of my private research collection.
