In this robust new account of the Vikings, Tom Shippey explores
their mindset, and in particular their fascination with scenes of
heroic death. The book recounts many of the great bravura scenes of
Old Norse literature, including the Fall of the House of the
Skjoldungs, the clash between the two great longships Ironbeard and
Long Serpent and the death of Thormod the skald. The most exciting
book on Vikings for a generation, Laughing Shall I Die presents
them for what they were: not peaceful explorers and traders, but
bloodthirsty warriors and marauders.
