A beautiful companion volume to Norse Myths and Legends, exploring the ancient origins of Viking society and culture.

The Norse legends of Odin, Thor, Loki and all the gods of Asgard are well known, but less so are the historical origins of civilization in the very early days of Norway and wider Scandinavia which evolved this dramatic mythology. Archaeology furnishes us with fascinating evidence of the progress of the peoples and their way of life, until later the skaldic poets began to write down and celebrate the life and exploits of their rulers, establishing divine authority through legend and myth. The various tribes of the more southerly regions - from the Geats (Gautar or Goths) of Götaland and the Swedes (Suiones) to the Cimbri of Jutland - migrated and expanded north to evolve from tribal systems into fully fledged kingdoms.

This fascinating book revives some classic historical works, with an insightful introduction explaining context and modern knowledge. Trace the ancient origins of the Norsemen and historical Norway, from the Stone Age, through the Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman Iron Age to the famous Viking Age and its impact across Europe; discover the migrations, culture, kings, literature and sagas which combine to create modern identity, tracing ancestry back to the gods. This new book is the perfect companion to Norse Myths & Legends in the same series of beautiful Collector's Editions, and sits alongside the other great cultures of the early world.

Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction: authors, myths, tales and history without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each book features a new Introduction and a Glossary of Terms or lists of Ancient Leaders.

Must have sunscreen for kids!
Style: SPF 50 (Pack of 3), Size: 5.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This is our favorite sunscreen. It is easy to apply stays on and my kids do not get burned. I have a 9, 8 and 6 year-old we live in Florida and this is the only sunscreen we buy for their body. It does not cause any skin irritation.

Lightweight and non-greasy
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2)
It doesn’t feel heavy or greasy on the skin, and I really like the scent. It absorbs well and does its job protecting from the sun. I sent these to Cuba, where the sun is very strong, and my mom is really happy with the results. Overall, a great sunscreen.

Fantastic sensitive skin mineral lotion
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Mineral sunscreen is required in Hawaii. They don't allow the chemical variety as they are trying to protect the reefs. The Banana Boat Sensitive 100% Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 Twin Pack is a great option for reliable, gentle sun protection. Made with 100% mineral actives, it’s perfect for sensitive skin and provides strong broad-spectrum coverage against UVA and UVB rays. The lotion is lightweight, blends in well without leaving a heavy white cast, and feels comfortable for all-day wear. It’s also water-resistant, making it a dependable choice for outdoor activities. With the value of a twin pack, it’s a smart buy for keeping your skin safe and protected. We used it in Hawaii and it was popular among our crew. It didn't last long!

On my Safe List from allergist!
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I like this product because it is nice and creamy, has no odor, it rubs in easily and it stays on. I need constant sun protection every day and this one seems to provide it, even when boating. I have no itching or irritation of skin or eyes after using. So much better than a sticky spray that feels like a plastic coating when it dries. I am getting better protection with this one, and you don’t feel like you’ve gotta wash it all off at the end of the day. Very happy I tried it, and I’m going to stick with it.

Dries your skin and leaves a cast, but very effective and dry to the touch
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
This sunscreen is super effective for preventing sunburn, I think it works for longer than other sunscreens. It’s also completely dry to the touch, it’s the least greasy sunscreen I’ve ever worn in my life. There are drawbacks though, it makes my skin super dry, and it leaves a little bit of a white cast.
