Description
Jennie Hall was one of the few authors that wrote about the world’s most significant historic events and achievements in such a lively, entertaining and overall delightful manner, that children can’t help but be fascinated with her words. Through works such as Buried Cities, Four Old Greeks or The Story of Chicago, the author managed to touch the minds and hearts of many young and aspiring history scholars throughout the generations that followed, her books remaining as timeless as ever, even today.Viking Tales is a book that faithfully follows what its name represents. Telling tales of one of Europe’s least understood civilizations, it paints a vivid and colorful picture of Vikings, their daily chores and activities, as well as their dreams, aspirations and achievements, without ignoring the facts. The author manages to accurately fold all the historical facts about Vikings into a series of entertaining stories that your little one won’t be able to even glance away from. The book is particularly interesting in its portrayal of the Golden Age of Vikings, a period when the seafaring Germanic raiders and traders from the North managed to expand as far south as the Kingdom of Nekor and as far east as Constantinople.One of the most exciting things about Viking Tales is that the book is divided into short, beautifully written illustrated stories about Vikings and their various legends, beliefs and the interests they held at times when they were a thriving European people. The stories feature examples of what it was like to live as a Viking, genuine representations of their culture and religion, and entertaining adventures that children will adore.Whether your little ones know anything about history or not, these stories will enchant them and them into a realistic world of old, where they have the chance to not only read about real Vikings in action, but learn all about their unique culture and understanding.
