24 Hours with the Vikings

24 Hours with the Vikings presents a Viking family embarking on a perilous voyage to set up home in a new land, depicted in a comic strip brimming with information and adventure.

A Viking family in Norway loads up their ship and enjoys a farewell feast before setting sail to establish a new home overseas. What dangers might they face at sea? Will the Norse gods protect them on their journey?

Meet a brother and sister as they say goodbye to their old home and prepare for adventure. Before they depart, there's time for a final lesson in sword fighting and a last visit to their ancestors at the burial ground. Their grandmother shares tales of her own seafaring adventures and teaches them how to read Norse runes.

This comic is filled with details about every aspect of Viking life, interwoven with stories of trolls, vengeful ghosts, and legends of gods and monsters.

Written by Lan Cook, who studied Norse history at Cambridge University, with expert advice from Professor E.A. Rowe. The book includes Quicklinks to find out more about the Vikings and features vibrant, comic-strip illustrations.
