Bill Arnott guides readers on this bestselling literary odyssey, following history’s most feared and misunderstood voyageurs - the Vikings! To “go viking” is to embark on an epic journey. For eight years Bill Arnott journeyed throughout the northern hemisphere, discovering sites Scandinavian explorers raided, traded, and settled – finding Viking history in a wider swath of the planet than most anthropologists and historians ever imagined. With a small pack and weatherproof journal, Bill explores and writes with a journalist’s eye, songwriter’s prose, poet’s perspective, and a comedian’s take on everything else. Prepare yourself for an armchair adventure like no other! From Europe to Asia, the Mediterranean to the British Isles, Scandinavia to Iceland, Greenland, and the New World, with excursions around Thor Heyerdahl’s Pacific, Roald Amundsen’s Arctic and Olaf Crowbone’s stormy North Atlantic, Bill takes readers on a mythic personal adventure in real time – a present-day Viking quest. — BUY THE BOOKS HERE — Gone Viking Travel Saga (3 books) published by Rocky Mountain Books by Bill Arnott Gone Viking A Travel Saga https://www.worldhistory.org/books/1771604476 Gone Viking II Beyond Boundaries https://www.worldhistory.org/books/177160543X Gone Viking III The Holy Grail https://www.worldhistory.org/books/1771606460 — EXTRAS — Other publications by Bill Arnott: A Festive Season on Vancouver Island https://www.worldhistory.org/books/1771607262 A Season on Vancouver Island https://www.worldhistory.org/books/1771605774 Hear more from Bill about his travels with Viking TV https://viking.tv/my-viking/bill-arnott — BUY OUR MERCH — https://www.worldhistory.store​/​ (https://www.worldhistory.store/%E2%80%8B) — SUPPORT US VIA OUR PATREON— https://www.patreon.com/join/whencyclopedia — ATTRIBUTIONS — The music used in this recording is the intellectual copyright of Michael Levy, a prolific composer for the recreated lyres of antiquity, and used with the creator's permission.
