24 HOURS IN THE VIKING WORLD (HB)

Danish native and Viking expert Kirsten Wolf chronicles an hour in the life of 24 individuals from every corner of Viking society over the course of a single day. From the warrior to the thrall, the shipbuilder to the farmer, the poet to the oracle - each chapter offers a snapshot of the world as it was in medieval Scandinavia, and opens a window into how these people lived, loved, worked, fought and died. An absorbing, grounded and tangible look at what it was really like to be alive during this pivotal period in European history.
