Recenzje

Everybody thinks they know the Vikings, but Neil Price's magical book casts them in an entirely new light ... Scholarly, colourful and often remarkably funny, this is history at its very best, a richly decorated window on to a very strange world. Dominic Sandbrook and Gerard De Groot The Times Books of the Year
