Factology : Vikings: Open Up a World of Information!
Overview
Factology: Viking is a fact-packed introduction to this iconic time in history, presented in maps, timelines, diagrams and statistics.
Did you know that the Vikings weren't just one people? The pillaging pirates who raided Europe's coasts came from all over Scandinavia, and lots of people from those countries never even picked up a sword - they preferred to stay at home and farm their land; thank you very much
