Publisher's Synopsis
The Vikings form part of the core study unit "Invaders and Settlers" at Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum. Following the previous books in this series, which focused on the Anglo-Saxons and Roman Britain, this book looks at the reasons for the Viking invasion of Britain and the way of life of the settlers. Its topics include Viking ships, warriors, life on the farms, Viking homes and family life. Evidence from the Viking settlement at York offers an insight into town life and the extent of the Vikings' links with the wider world.
