Undoubtedly Norse myths and tales have exercised a deep influence upon our customs, laws and English literature. Jennie Hall's short stories are entertaining and introduce Scandinavian society in the Viking era: mentalities, beliefs (myths, sacrifices, funeral customs), daily life (habitat, food, clothing).The first part entitled In Norway focuses on the figure of King Harald: his childhood, his conquest of all Norway, his marriage to Gyda... The second part West-Over-Seas is dedicated to the navigation and discoveries of the Vikings.

Rare edition with unique illustrations and elegant classic cream paper. For those wanting an interesting peek into the lifestyle of the vikings and an insight into their mindset, this will be a worthwhile read. Find out how slaves (or thralls) were used and treated by the privileged of society. Get a glimpse into the clothing worn and foods eaten. Most importantly, this text will help explain the worldview of these mysterious people. They worshiped strange gods, and felt their life after death would be humiliating if they didn't die courageously in battle. To die any other way would've been shameful. The sense of extreme entitlement struck me strongly as I read, seeing these men take what they wanted, whenever they felt the need, killing persons standing in their way. You'll gain insight into some more famous men and vikings from history and lore: Harald, King of Norway, as well as Eric the Red and Leif the Lucky. Stories are told in a straight-forward manner with little building of tension or drama. Includes vintage illustration!
