Another excellent Horrible History.......2004-03-08
This book is just one of the many Horrible Histories I have invested in over the years and it is just as informative, funny and useful as the others.
It includes all the information other books do not have, and is the reason why I am so interested in history. This book includes hilarious cartoons by Martin Brown, instructions on how to build a boat, well-told stories rewritten by Terry Deary. Buy this and all the others!
I love it.......2001-08-22
I love this book because it gives the most gory details about how the Vikings lived. It tells us the most boring facts in a gory and interesting way. I have read it twice and I think it is brilliant.
A really great book.......2001-03-01
The vicious vikings is a book that tells you about what vikings did on their raids. It has a timeline just on vikings. This is a great book although it doesn't really appeal to younger children because it is a bit grisly. Once you start reading you'll have trouble putting the book down.

fun history, good value.......2006-03-06
I purchased this for my seven year old son, in preparation for visiting the Jorvik Viking Centre. I was unsure of how much he would really like it, or of how good it would be. I found that it is a great DVD, and he really enjoyed it. It teaches enough history to give him a taste, and make him interested in the subjects covered. It seems to me that these DVD's are best suited for children aged about 7-10, unlike the related books which would be better for ages 10-13. Older kids might find it a bit babyish.
The three episodes on this DVD are: Vicious Vikings, Perilous Plague and Trading Timbuktu.

- Innocent Lies [1995] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
- Intermezzo [1939]
