This provided a decent introduction to the Vikings, though with more of a slant toward the North Atlantic than the East, Baltic States, and Russia. It also didn’t cover so much of the sagas – which perhaps might have merited their own chapter, as might beliefs.
I would have liked to have seen the Pictish question answered rather than raised, but there was some good info on Greenland. Not a bad book, but perhaps a little overwhelmed by the amount of geography it needed to cover by comparison to some of the previous works in this series.
