"This is an interesting, often informative and provocative book." (The Medieval Review)"[A] thought-provoking survey of, and engagement with, the whole gamut of Viking-age activities and resulting scholarship." (Saga Book)"This book is an absolute delight, a quirky, hard-hitting potpourri to be dipped into and savoured by anyone even remotely interested in the period ... Altogether this is a lively, provocative and stimulating book, strongly recommended to anyone with interest in early medieval Europe or indeed any reader seeking entertainment." (History July 2007)
