Synopsis:
Ferguson describes this book as a sure guide across what he calls 'the treacherous marshes' which divide legend from fact in Viking Age history. His long familiarity with the literary culture of Scandinavia - the eddas, the poetry of the skalds and the sagas - is combined with the latest archaeological discoveries and the evidence of picture-stones, runes, ships and objects scattered all over northern Europe.
