SuitabookMeet the Vikings

- Reading
- Pause at the artefact images and ask what each object might tell you about daily life. For topics such as enslavement or religion, distinguish what the book says people did or believed from what it says about their experiences.
- Themes
- A question-led historical overview: The book poses questions about how Vikings interacted, what medicines they used, and what they thought about religion and other peoples. It moves through these topics in a Q&A format with a loose narrative structure. The structure presents its subjects as historical questions to explore, rather than as a single continuous story.
- Worth knowing
- Enslavement is part of the historical coverage: the book includes the life of a thrall, identified as a slave. It also addresses religion and interactions with other peoples.
