Description
The book presents an interactive overview of Celtic and Viking life in Ireland through illustrated comic-strip stories, featuring a raid on a roundhouse and a thwarted Viking attack on Dublin. It introduces characters such as Snorri the Fib-Teller and Brynhild Truth-Twister who pose true-or-false questions, while also providing real timelines, puzzles, and look-inside features of a Viking house and a Celtic roundhouse. The volume includes craft instructions for making a roundhouse, Viking jewellery, and helmets, combining factual information with activities for middle-grade readers.
