History with the nasty bits left in!

'The Vicious Vikings' is packed with frightening facts about these vile invaders - and their savage Saxon enemies - from cruel kings and vengeful Viking warriors to the suffering slaves, the thralls.

Want to know why some vicious Vikings had names like Fat-thighs, Oaf and Stinking; how to build a vicious Viking longboat, and which vicious Viking god dressed up as a woman?

Read on to find about some truly terrible torture techniques, vile Viking legends full of gruesome giants and deadly dwarves, and the messy murder of King Edmund.

History has never been so horrible! With a bold new cover look and a heap of extra horrible bits at the back of the book, each best-selling title is sure to be a huge hit with yet another generation of Terry Deary fans.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Terry Deary writes both fiction and non-fiction. The Fire Thief was his 150th book published in the UK, this was followed by Flight of the Fire Thief and The Fire Thief Fights Back. Terry's books have been translated into 28 languages. His Horrible Histories series has sold 20 million copies worldwide. Terry has won numerous awards, including Blue Peter's Best Non-fiction Author of the Century.

About the Illustrator: Martin Brown (born 1 November 1959) is an Australian cartoonist/illustrator. According to Scholastic and The Telegraph, he is best known for being the main illustrator of the Horrible Histories books. Regardless of what type of illustration is required, Brown's first step is to read the accompanying text.

With Horrible Histories colleague Terry Deary, his task as a cartoonist is to inject humour into the books, so he then bounced ideas back and forth, "either coming up with gags to suit the text or interpreting Terry's instructions for best comic or dramatic effect". The third stage is working out how "angles, scale, aspect, style, pace etc" will be considered in the design space. After that he draws the roughs and finally the finished drawing. The roughs are first sent to the publishers who make their comments, and then they are sent to Deary. Tweaks are done in the rough stage. In the case of full colours books, the last stage is adding colour; either he does it via ink and water-colour, or "the line-work is scanned and sent to a colourist who adds the colour on computer".
