CHRONICLES OF THE VIKINGS: Records, Memorials and Myths - Using a series of new translations from primary sources - runic inscriptions left behind by the Vikings, poems by their official skalds, literary works that entertained them, a few prose historical accounts that derive direct from Vikings, and eye-witness reports of how the northern peoples lived - the book sheds light on the social values of the Vikings and their heroic view of life, which sometimes contrasts with a much more down to earth way of looking at things.
