Back Flap: I don't really understand the source of the name "Viking." I know that it's said
the base of the name is "vik," which means inlet. They used inlets as natural ports,
building villages within them, raising sheep and pigs, cultivating small amounts of land,
fashioning tools, eating barley, herrings, whales and seals, drinking beer, crying, laughing,
and falling in love. Their piratical nature tends to precede them, but I would like to
continue studying them and portraying them in various other ways.
