From a distinguished archaeologist, the definitive history of the Vikings-from arts and culture to politics and cosmology.
"A thrilling read." -Wall Street Journal

From Eirík Bloodaxe, who fought his way to a kingdom, to Gudríd Thorbjarnardóttir, the most traveled woman in the world,Children of Ash and Elmis a remarkable history of the Vikings and their time.
