Books with title Last of the Vikings

The Vikings had a fierce reputation as warriors and raiders. Yet, they were a trading and farming people as well. This well-researched book lets readers visit the Viking world where theyll glimpse life in a Viking town as well as on a longship, find out about their festivals and feasts, learn about their religion and mythology, and even attend a funeral. A map of the Viking world, from America to the Mediterranean, and stunning artwork and photographs encourage an immersive and instructive experience about the age of the Vikings.

The Vikings may be gone, but they left behind many objects to tell the tale of their culture and civilization. These artifacts include horns and pots, elaborately carved weapons and helmets, awesome longships with carved prows, statues, and chess pieces. This book explores and explains the significance of these objects, which are as varied as the history of these far-traveling people.

"Hello," said Alice, trying her best to sound friendly. "What are you doing up here?" "I'm talking to the ghost," said Jenny. Jenny has been making some strange friends lately. She's been walking barefoot through the wilds, talking to a huge white goat that wanders the Irish countryside. She's been chatting with the ghost of a young boy that guards the stone beacon at the top of the mountain. Her father, J.J. Liddy, knows these beings are connected somehow to the forces that are gathering around his homeland, plotting to destroy mankind. But will he be able to unravel the puzzles in time? Will he be able to secure the future of the last of the high kings? And is J.J. guarding some dark secrets of his own?
