Description

North America, 1009. The conquering Vikings are delighted to reach North America. The land is green and fertile - it's the perfect place to establish a new home. But first they must learn to get on with the natives. Terry Deary's Viking Tales explore the world and mythology of the Vikings through the eyes of children who could have lived at the time. These stories feature real people from history and take place in some of the most recognizable Viking settings.

Reviews

'Deary's language is pitched just right for readers to enjoy the book independently, if they are not already reading it in class...Deary recounts with his trademark humour and observation.' * Books for Keeps (March 2011) *
