Absolutely exhaustive, and covering much more than the normal histories of the Vikings. The first part of the book concentrated on Viking beliefs, their world view, their social organisation, ceremonies, folklore and so on. Only in the later parts did it look at their expansion, piracy, trading and influence across Europe and beyond. Took me a long time to read though, will have to pick something light next. I'm going to gloss over the election of Trump as president for a second time that was announced earlier today, and instead talk about Grogu. tomorrow is the first day when I will be at home alone with him, so I'm a bit concerned about how it will go - will he be ok? Will he disturb me at work? I'm not sure how to manage it yet, but i think I'll try working downstairs so we can be company for each other.
