24 Hours in the Viking World

Between the Lindisfarne raid of 793 CE and the Norman conquest of 1066, the Vikings became one of history's most far-reaching civilizations. Far more than raiders, they built a rich, complex society. In 24 Hours in the Viking World, historian Kirsten Wolf follows 24 people - from warrior to thrall, shipbuilder to poet - across a single day, revealing how medieval Scandinavians lived, loved, worked, fought, and shaped the world.
