She has published three that deal with Norse history – The Far Traveler: Voyages of a Viking Woman, which examines the life of the explorer Gudrid Thorbjarnardóttir Song of the Vikings: Snorri and the Making of Norse Myths, which tells the story of an Icelandic chieftain and writer named Snorri Sturluson and Ivory Vikings, the Mystery of the Most Famous Chessmen in the World and the Woman Who Made Them, which examines the history of the Lewis Chessmen.
If you want books that are very readable, those by Nancy Marie Brown are highly recommended. Byzantium and the Viking World, edited by Fedir Androshchuk, Jonathan Shepard and Monica White, is a collection of nineteen essays, and is perhaps the most academic heavy of all the books listed here. The Vikings in England: Settlement, Society and Culture, by Dawn Hadley and Vikings in the South: Voyages to Iberia and the Mediterranean, by Ann Christys, are excellent examples of this. There are many books that look at the Vikings and their interactions with other parts of the world. This is one of the books that just looks at particular objects and artefacts, offering short pieces about what makes them interesting and relevant to the Norse world. Another good book for casual browsing is Pocket Museum: Vikings, by Steven Ashby and Alison Leonard. One should also mention another book by Kirsten Wolf – Viking Age: Everyday Life during the Extraordinary Era of the Norsemen – which is a simple read covering topics like food and recreation. Each chapter starts by explaining ‘What People Think Happened’, then ‘How the Story Became Popular’ and finally ‘What Really Happened’, while adding in bits of translated primary sources. It is divided into 11 chapters, each dealing with a particular myth about the Norse, such as they wore horned helmets, or that they were unhygenic.
A book that just came out – and one that deserves to be on many bookshelves – is The Vikings: Facts and Fictions, by Kirsten Wolf and Tristan Mueller-Vollmer.
