Horrible Histories (TV Tie-in): Vicious Vikings

The horrible book to go with the TV series!

The Vikings were fearsome seafaring warriors with big boats, big shields and enormous ginger beards. This much you probably know. But do you know…

  • Why the vicious Vikings had names like Fat-thighs, Oaf and Stinking?
  • How to build a vicious Viking longboat?
  • Which vicious Viking god dressed up as a woman?

Read on for hordes of frightening facts about these vile invaders and their savage Saxon enemies! From cruel kings and vengeful Viking warriors to the mean and miserable slaves, it’s a story of beastly battles, truly terrible torture techniques and messy murders. Eeek!
