This humorous and handy guide contains all the information aspiring
Vikings need to know about life as a Norse warrior. Expert tips
include: how to plunder a monastery; how to keep your lunch in
stormy seas; what to wear and what not to wear if you want to look
like a boss; and how to avoid getting a battleaxe through your
chest. Based on the bestselling Viking by historian John Haywood,
So you want to be a Viking? features the field’s latest
scholarship, complemented by the zany illustrations of Japanese
cartoonist Takayo Akiyama. The result is a book that brings to life
the experience of being a Viking in 991 ce – from learning to
steer a longship to cleaning one’s spear after a particularly
bloody battle – through a crew of likeable (as well as highly
disagreeable) characters.
