Viking Tales: Norse Legends, Myths, and Adventures from the Age of the Vikings - Hardcover

by Jennie Hall (Author)

Epic heroes, sea voyages, and the living world of Norse myth.

These vivid narrative tales bring the Viking Age to life through legend, history, and everyday experience. Drawing on Scandinavian tradition, the stories reveal the beliefs, rituals, and values that shaped Norse society-from sacrifice and burial customs to home, clothing, and food.

The opening section, In Norway, follows the rise of King Harald, from youth to the conquest and unification of Norway and his marriage to Gyda. The second, West-Over-Seas, turns toward the daring navigation, exploration, and discoveries that carried Viking ships across unknown waters.

Blending folklore, cultural history, and adventure, this classic collection offers an engaging introduction to the mythology, spirit, and world of the Norsemen.

A timeless gateway to Viking legend and Scandinavian heritage.
