Adventures with the Vikings by Linda Bailey

from the Good Times Travel Agency series.

Starting in a Travel Agency and winding up in a Viking Village, the three siblings in our story are in for an adventure. They first learn about life in a village where women spend most of their time spinning, and sewing if they aren't cooking or caring for the little ones. The men farm, hunt, sail, and raid. Vikings are a violent and reckless seeming bunch, and our young adventurers get dragged along to a "Thing", a raid, and they even learn what it is like to be a thrall. For those who love adventure, and learning without even realizing it, this is the book for you.
