This review is from: The Viking World (Usborne Illustrated World History) (Paperback)

The book covers a little of every thing, the viking culturegods and myths, and important vikings, not to forget somehistory. It is full of many colorful illustrations. It does not go into alot of detail.

This review is from: Viking World Internet Linked (Illustrated World History) (Paperback)

I have spent the last year reading books about the Classical World to my seven year old son. It is now time to move onto the Middle Ages and Renaissance. On the way to the Middle Ages, we need to touch on the Dark Ages. I have purchased a number of children's books on the Vikings and Usborne's "Viking World" is the single best book that I have seen on the topic. It is a relatively thick for a children's book and it covers all the important topics. In addition, the book is filled with wonderful illustrations which will help bring the period alive. This is the first Usborne Illustrated World History book that we have read and I have recently purchased all the other books in the series. Highly recommended.
