| Synopsis: |
This is the third volume in a gripping series of adventure stories in which the intrepid Binkerton children grapple with a different period in history. In Adventures with the Vikings the Binkerton trio are transported back to Viking Scandinavia - as stowaways on a Viking longship. Josh gets dragged on a Viking raid, and then they all inadvertently end up as slaves - which is when they decide it really is time to come home! But this is not simply an entertaining narrative: the comic strip story provides a wealth of information about the period - thanks to the Good Times Travel Agency guide book, which accompanies the children on their adventure. Reproduced on every page, the guide book provides a running commentary on the time in history, providing the reader with all kinds of well-researched information about the social system, everyday way of life, boats, buildings, clothing and food of the time. |
