Dark•Heritage: Vikings in America

Sometimes you just need something different, so in amongst all the bunting and flags we were delighted to see Dark Heritage taking the time to blog about Vikings in America by Graeme Davis. The first book to tackle the subject of the true extent of the Viking discovery and colonisation of the eastern seaboard of America, it's a cracking - if sometimes controversial - read. We think 2012 is going to be Viking-tastic with a new series on BBC by Neil Oliver coming up in the autumn, and Graeme's book is an excellent jumping off point.
