The Norsemen in the Viking Age Reviews

This is an interesting, often informative and provocative book. (The Medieval Review)

[A] thought-provoking survey of, and engagement with, the whole gamut of Viking-age activities and resulting scholarship. (Saga Book)

This book is an absolute delight, a quirky, hard-hitting potpourri to be dipped into and savoured by anyone even remotely interested in the period ... Altogether this is a lively, provocative and stimulating book, strongly recommended to anyone with interest in early medieval Europe or indeed any reader seeking entertainment. (History July 2007)
