Publisher's summary

Dragonships, raiding and looting parties, hand-to-hand combat, explorers and adventures, and gods and goddesses—which of these truly describe the fearless Vikings?

The word Viking conjures many images. Often, these are created as a result of the numerous movies, books, shows, and comics about the warriors. Some depictions are historically accurate, while others are developed to add to the allure of the invincible warrior.

This audiobook will provide you with details about the time period in which the Vikings reigned. Learn how the Scandinavian people lived, who sailed as part of the Viking raids, the weapons they used in battle, and their religious beliefs.

You will discover facts that differ from fiction commercially shown about the Vikings. But don’t worry, your admiration of them will not be diminished. These were amazing Scandinavian people worth knowing more about.

In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:

  • The impact of the Ice Age on Norse landforms.
  • How the Stone Age and Bronze Age influenced the Vikings.
  • The first known Viking raid.
  • Ragnar and other famous Vikings.
  • Ivan the Boneless and the Blood Eagle.
  • The Great Heathen Army and its famous battles.
  • The Viking legal system and the daily life of the Scandinavian people.
  • The magic of Norse runes and poetry.
  • The Vikings’ impressive ability to craft ships, allowing them to traverse the known world and farther.

And much, much more!
