Whittock, Martyn

A fascinating, eminently readable exploration of Viking presence, both real and imaginary, in the United States.

This accessible book, among several that have demythologized Mayflower history, will appeal to readers at all levels.

With recent volumes, such as Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology and J.R.R. Tolkien's posthumously published The Legend of Sigurd & Gudrún, appealing more to readers strictly interested in creative takes on classic Norse tales, this title attracts new readers by offering solid retellings and contextual information that serve as a valuable introduction to this rich tradition.
