    About this audiobook

    This book consists of two titles, which are the following:

     

    Book 1: Scandinavians of the ancient world had many gods and goddesses they worshiped. Are you curious about which ones they revered so much?

     

    Well, in this guide, that’s exactly what you will learn.

     

    To start off, this brief guide will go over some a quick history of the Vikings. Then, you will discover more about several deities that are worth mentioning, as well as some queer beliefs and false notions that have been spread about the Norse.

     

     

     

    Book 2: How did the ancient Vikings live?

     

    What was their society like?

     

    This and many other questions about history and mythology will be answered in this brief guide. For example, an entire chapter is devoted to women’s roles in Viking society. Other chapters discuss the appearance of trolls and other creatures in Norse myths. You’ll find out why certain popular children’s movies have included Viking clothing and other elements in their narrative, what Viking art is all about.

     

    Last but not least, you can learn more about Ragnar Lothbrok, one of the heroes in Viking myths.

      I like mythology books, so this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

      Both the narrator and the writer put some legitimate effort into this. The thoughts from the writer made a lot of sense to me. I agreed with all the things, and that's one other reason exactly why I am so thrilled about this audiobook. The author did not arbitrarily pick little bits and pieces of bad advice, but rather, sorted out the claims enough. I benefitted from this audiobook. It was an eye-opener. I was wanting to learn more about this concept anyway, so it was actually no coincidence that I bumped into this book. I listened to it, and not to my surprise, it was precisely what I was trying to find.

      Some of the best tips about this particular subject are openly being uncovered by the writer. That's the reason that I just like it. I have absolutely no criticisms about this audio book. The best parts of this book (I forgot which chapters) indicated the most to me. When I heard these things, I quickly understood I had actually made the ideal option. This book talked to me.

      I have no criticisms about this specific book. This the absolute best books I have listened to, which is the reason why I am taking a tiny moment to compose a comment about it. I benefitted from this book. It was an eye-opener. I was intending to find out more about this idea anyway, so it was no coincidence that I came across this book. I listened to it, and certainly not to my surprise, it was precisely what I was trying to find.
    • 4/5
      Pretty good and short overview about their Gods and lifestyle that makes raiding sound like winter holiday.
    • 5/5
      It's so great that my canary gave it 5 stars too. This was definitely worth my time. Lastly, a narrated book which gives you what you want. One other point: The storyteller appeared so great that I would listen to it again. And perhaps more than one time. I simply cannot remember every single thing that's being said in all these audiobooks, so it would be worth reminding myself of what was actually being mentioned. Such an intriguing subject. I think I will let my siblings spouse listen to it. They have to understand that there are actually audio books such as this out there.
    • 5/5
      It's a great thing if you can just put on your head phones and tune in to an audio like this one. I encourage you (or even anybody who reads through this) to get this audiobook. I really loved it. In my opinion, it was simply one of those audio books you can not really skip. You can not dismiss it, since it is one of the best out there. I might become repetitive here, but that's just how I think about it.
