BookList
The emphasis on everyday life is central to this book, which is the latest in the Clues to the Past series. Young readers really find out what Vikings did for fun, what they wore, and what they ate. The first pages bridge the gap between Hollywood's image of Vikings as savage marauders and Vikings as they actually lived in their various settlements. The book is a competent introduction, but there are no suggested readings to help children study further. Another book in this series, "Everyday Life in Roman Times", is listed in the Series Roundup in this issue.
