Anund lives near the river Humber early in the tenth century. He arrived in England 10 years ago when he was four.
Anund’s family is one of the many to have emigrated from Denmark to England after the Viking invasion and the establishment of the Danelaw.
The ships that the Vikings use are described and the techniques of navigating at sea explained. Anund then talks about his daily life, the house he lives in and the food he eats. Finally, Anund describes how the history of the Vikings is passed from person to person through the telling of sagas.
