River Kings: Epic Stories of the Viking Age

<p>To mark the US release of our very own Dr Cat Jarman’s incredible book <em>River Kings: A New History of the Vikings from Scandinavia to the Silk Roads</em>, sit back and relax as she takes us a whistle-stop tour of her captivating Sunday Times bestseller. From Sweden to Ukraine and from London to Constantinople, the Vikings certainly got about! But how much of a link was there between the western and eastern Viking worlds? By joining the dots of fascinating new archaeological evidence, pioneering research and reassessments of traditional sources, Dr Cat reveals that many of the stories we are traditionally told about the Viking Age might not quite be as true as they seem.
