Berk, Ari - How to be a Viking
How To Be A Viking
by Ari Berk
From the choice of name, the gods, shipping, everyday life, war, funeral, runes, the book deals with the Vikings. The author of this book manages to expertly informe the reader of every facet of their fascinating culture.
For the reader there is a lot to discover. You can open envelopes, wheels turn, pop-up-ships are glued inside the book and you can even open graves. All this makes this book huge fun and invites to explore the foundations of the Vikings. Even runes for a throw of fate are attached.
Wonderful illustrations round up the entire. Each of these 32 pages is a small masterpiece in itself. There is much to discover. When I remember the rather dry "was ist was"-books of my youth - they are not by far as entertaining and instructive as Ari Berks fine book.
