Informative yet entertaining - the excellent, colourful illustrations are humorous and give children an idea of what it might have been like when the Vikings were around.
(5-7 Educator)A cracking good story and an engaging narrative voice are the two key characteristics guaranteed to keep young readers' attention from cover to cover ... illustration, design and writing work in perfect harmony to create a lively cast of Vikings, whose story keeps you turning the pages. The illustrations have a gorgeous, fresh, drawn-from-life feel.
(Nicola Davies Guardian)There is so much detail in this book and the pictures and the story are so interesting that I thoroughly recommend it.
