Viking Town is an invaluable guide to one of the most important periods in history.

Step inside a Viking town and discover for yourself what it was like to live and work in this bustling centre of long-distance trade. Admire the well-built houses before joining the town's defenders as they fight off an attack by rivals from across the sea. This is a superbly-illustrated look at the daily lives of different types of Vikings.

With superb cutaway illustrations, we explore the astounding architectural achievements and day-to-day activities of the Vikings, looking at how they ate, dressed, entertained themselves and sometimes fought. Informative captions, maps, a complete glossary and an index makes this title an ideal educational aid for children aged 9 and up studying this period.
