From School Library Journal
Grade 5 Up-- In this revision of the 1986 edition (Watts; o.p.), the full-color illustrations and photographs are much sharper and brighter. The captions are interesting and occasionally longer than the text. Martell explains Viking society, government, clothing, family life, gods and goddesses, sports, farms, feasts, etc. Collections holding Gibson's The Vikings (Silver Pr, 1977; o.p.) or Clarke's Vikings (Gloucester, 1984) may not need this book. Where the subject is in demand or in need of updating, it's an excellent choice. --Suzanne Lippencott, Nichols Lib . , Naperville, IL
