In 48 pages, this book provides a nice overview of the Viking society during the 250 years that they were famous and feared raiders of Europe.  Detailing the art, technology, religions, class structure, leadership, weapons, tools, daily life as well as the military exploits of the Vikings, the reader learns a great deal.  The multitude of graphics, photographs, and maps engage the reader and enhance the text.  This is a good series particularly for reluctant readers.
