Product Description
The fiery world of the Vikings is filled with amazing adventures and acts of courage. Battles with mighty giants, demons and dwarves abound and superhuman gods - Thor, Odin and many more - leap from the pages. These retellings will fire every child's imagination. All the drama, magica and mystery of Robert Swindells' stories are captured in Peter Utton's illustrations, which bring the world of the Vikings so vividly to life.

I bought this book for my daughter as she is studying the Vikings at school. The stories are well written (although some names are a challenge to pronounce!).
My daughter has enjoyed this book but it wouldn't be top of her list which is why I've rated it with just 3 stars.
I'd definitely recommend it for other children learning about the Vikings as it's a nice way to enhance or add to what they learn at school.
