About the author

Rachel Wright grew up in Bermuda, England, the Seychelles, and Fiji. She used to be an actress (after gaining a degree in drama in 1982, she worked as an actress for BBC Radio and various theatre companies, including one she co-founded with a friend) but now she writes full-time. (In 1989 I produced my first children’s non-fiction book and it’s been pretty non-stop since.) Her works include You've Got Blackmail and more than 40 children’s non-fiction books.

[Mia · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love this series! Learn about history through reading, activities, and crafts. In this book specifically, you get to learn about Vikings and their boats, jewelry, farming, culture, and more. Highly recommend for home-schoolers or people who want to include more hands-on elements to history lessons.
