Jacqueline Simpson
Everyday Life in the Viking Age
Paperback
(Corgi Childrens Nov. 26, 1971)
, New Ed Edition
Were the Vikings only seafaring marauders who built fine ships, looted Christian settlements, and recorded their barbaric adventures in epic poetry; or were they also a civilized race who flourished on both land and sea? By relating archaeological discoveries to the wealth of early literature, Jacqueline Simpson has produced a vivid picture of everyday life in Viking times. She depicts their life on the land, their ships and sea expeditions, their trade, weapons and warriors. She also describes in detail their families and social life, games, arts and poetry, and their religion and funeral rites.
