By A B CeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
with a NEW COVER!

`The Vicious Vikings is packed with frightening facts about these vile invaders - and their savage Saxon enemies - from cruel kings and vengeful Viking warriors to the suffering slaves, the thralls.

Want to know:-

why some vicious Vikings had names like Fat-thighs, Oaf and Stinking?
how to build a vicious Viking longboat?
which vicious Viking god dressed up as a woman?

Read on to find out about some truly terrible torture techniques, vile Viking legends full of gruesome giants and deadly dwarves, and the messy murder of King Edmund.
History has never been so horrible!'

A witty, colourful cover opens to 135 pages, split over 15 chapters:-

Vicious Viking invaders
Vicious Viking timeline
Vicious Viking legends
Vicious Viking times
The power of Viking poems
Vicious Vikings vanquished
Live like a Viking
Viking women
Viking children
Vile Viking food
Vicious Viking historians
The savage Saxons
The suffering Saxons
King Alfred the cake
Test your teacher

with an introduction and an epilogue.

Written with the typical Deary humour, in a variety of fonts, and superb illustrations throughout from Martin Brown.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny yet useful. Kids 10-13 should love it!, 5 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Vicious Vikings : ( Horrible Histories ) (Paperback)
This book is excellent for any ages but i think, my self being a kid this book is for 10-13 year olds mostly. Parents should buy this and other Horrible History books if they cant get their kids to read other boring hisdory facts. This book has lots of information on vikings and how they lived. Who and how and when and what they conquered in a very funny way. Comic strips here and there make it funny and fun to read. There are also quizes and trick questions for your teachers about vikings, so if your teacher is a show-off then ask them some things out of here. You'll cathc them of guard! I personally like Horrible history books more than Horrible Science and Geography books because here there is like a storyline. This book is one of the best out of the Horrible History books, but I havent read all of them (and am looking forward to it). That is about it. My mum and Dad read this book and they also loved it, so that proves that it is for all ages. Terry Deary has really gone to town with this one! If your buying your first book out of this series then get this one!
