Peeps at Many Lands: Norway

Who has not heard of the Vikings—the dauntless sea-rovers, who in the days of long ago were the dread of Northern Europe?

Well, it is very probable that most of the people in the world have heard about the existence of the Vikings, the fearless men who were fighting for their ideals and conquered other countries.

There are a lot of stories about them, especially about Harald the Hard, the King of Norway who was trying to become the King of England, and the two Olafs – Olaf Tryggvasson and Olaf the Saint, both of whom took part in many fights on British soil and died in a battle as heroes.

But, today Norway doesn’t have its Viking, but it is a beautiful and peaceful country, or better said, a kingdom on the Scandinavian Peninsula.

In this book you will read about Norway as we know today. It is described in details, giving an overview of the life people have there, their customs and traditions, the weather, education. Also, the author mentioned the fairy tales of Norway, the beauties of the country – its nature, and the wildlife found there.

This book takes you to a journey through the fascinating Scandinavian beauty, making you feel like you are really there because of the vivid language used.
