Viking Tales (Version 2)

Before maps existed, before the world was known, there were men who looked at the horizon and saw possibility. This is their story, told as it was told in the long Viking nights: around the fire, with harp music and wool in their hands, passing down tales of a boy named Harald who would become king. From the frozen fjords of Norway to the wild islands of the Atlantic, from infancy on a stormy sea to the throne of a united nation, we follow the Norse as they sail into the unknown. These are not mere historical facts. They are the legends the Vikings told their children, the sagas that made a people. Here is adventure stripped of modern comfort, where the sea is a constant threat and glory the only compass. Young readers will find heroes here. Older readers will find a window into a world where storytelling was survival, and every voyage was a gamble against the gods.
