The Legend of Ragnar Lothbrok: Viking King and Warrior Paperback – November 25, 2016

Very informative book. There were many stories passed down from the Vikings (even though they never had a written language) and the many nations they invaded. Excellent read.

Loved this book and exploring such an interesting and peculiar stretch of history. The Viking value system is a riddle indeed.Well written. Highly recommend.

The book is easy to read for the most part. It marks where things were translated and gives the full translation or description at the end of the chapters. I was interested in reading this, as most people will be, because I am a fan of Vikings on History Channel. I wanted to know more about the stories told about Ragnar and his sons out of interest and also to figure out where the show is going.I will try to avoid any spoilers here. If you are a fan and want to know what is ahead, it's worth the read, although the History Channel is able to take creative license in a good way because there are some conflicting stories about Ragnar and a lot of gaps in time that were not filled in. If you are familiar with the show and Vikings in general you know that there is no written history left by them during the Dark Ages.The information we have, and that was used to write this book is from several sources, including Christians who were raided by the Vikings, having a very biased view of them, oral tradition and stories handed down, etc. From the book and other sources that the people in the stories including Ragnar and his sons, although there are no written records by the during their time, there are records of their descendants after.It is interesting how warlike the culture is with scant resources in the Dark Ages with no written records, yet they were well ahead of their times, treating women more equally in some ways than other countries and cultures.It was worth the purchase and read to me. (I bought it on Kindle.) There are other books that have similar stories or are complimentary in the Saga Packs. They are very reasonable purchase price on Kindle as well if you want to read more.

A good reference type book. Uses the legends of old from different sources to give a picture of Ragnar Lothbrok. Passed it on to my son-in-law, who is a has watched the series "Vikings" and he said that the book help fill in the background.

Its a book. I'm sure my daughter will like it. Arrived fast.

Interesting read. All short stories that have been passed down. I thought it would be more of a history but I'm enjoying it anyway.

Gift for hubz & he absolutely loved it!! He's a huge Vikings fan and has always been into stuff from this era, so it was a win!

Interesting read, if a bit short.
