Who was vicious, who was vile and who was just very, very bad — or just mad? Discover what the Vikings were really like and what they were up to, and learn whether they really were that rotten. These colorful books are packed with the fun and grossness kids love, and also the real historical facts that parents and teachers want them reading. A half-illustrated, half-photographic approach creates a feeling of real depth, and fuses the twin strands of imagination and historical reality.
