The Vikings (Book Review)
From the settlement of Greenland to the discovery of North America, Elizabeth Janeway surveys the marvelous adventures of the westward pushing Vikings through the young eyes of Leif the Lucky. We follow Leif and his friend, an Irish slave named Brendan, from a mischievous boyhood in Iceland to a maturity in which they encounter the mysteries of political intrigue and the hardship of new lands. This is an excellent semi-fictional account that fully engages the young reader in the environment, geography, history, law, and social life of the Vikings.
