The Sea-King and the Sorceress

Neil S. Price

£30.00

Almost everyone has heard of the Vikings: scouring the coasts of Europe in their longships, with plunder and pillage. Those raiders were real and deserved their reputation, but in fact they were only ever a small minority of the Scandinavians. 'Viking' comes from the Old Norse word for pirate, and while we may use that label for every Northerner of the eighth to eleventh centuries, in reality they followed many different callings. In his revelatory book, archaeologist Neil Price takes us on a journey of individual encounters across the whole of the Norse world.
