Kirsten Wolf
24 Hours in the Viking World
Regular price $19.99 Save $-19.99
Spend 24 hours immersed in the rich and fascinating everyday lives of the Vikings.
Between the infamous Lindisfarne raid in 793 CE and the Norman conquest of 1066, the peoples we now know as the Vikings became one of the most far-ranging and influential civilizations in history. The Vikings are frequently portrayed as raiders, marauding across medieval Europe and Britain, but the culture and society of the medieval Nordic peoples were so much more diverse, multifaceted, and influential than they are often depicted.
In 24 Hours in the Viking World, author and Viking expert Kirsten Wolf chronicles an hour in the life of 24 individuals from every corner of Viking society over the course of a single day. From the warrior to the thrall, the shipbuilder to the farmer, the poet to the oracle, each chapter offers a snapshot of the world as it was in medieval Scandinavia and an insight into how these people lived, loved, worked, fought, and died.
The latest entry in the bestselling 24 Hours series, 24 Hours in the Viking World presents an absorbing, grounded, and tangible look at what it was really like to be alive during this pivotal era in history.

With original illustrations and words of advice from Nolan himself, this easy-to-follow book will teach you how to draw hands, feet, faces, full-body characters, and a whole range of wacky animals.

Hurricane
Regular price $27.99 Save $-27.99
Britain’s first wartime fighter plane, the Hawker Hurricane, shot down more enemy planes than any other fighter. With November 6th 2025 marking 90 years since its first flight, there’s no better time to celebrate this legendary aircraft and its pivotal role in the Battle of Britain.
Often eclipsed by the legend and aerial heroics of the Spitfire, the Hurricane was the authentic warhorse of aviation history. Stable, rugged, less expensive to build — and far more easily repaired and maintained than the Spitfire — the "Hurri," as it was affectionately known, proved to be the most fearsome fighter plane in aerial combat — at a time when Britain’s survival was at stake like never before.
In 1940 the Hurricane made its mark: more than half of the 1,200 German aircraft that were shot down in the war were taken down by Hurricanes. At the time, the RAF could call on 32 squadrons of Hurricanes and 19 Spitfires: the Hurricane was, in fact, the dominant British fighter plane, developing a reputation as a plane that could take more than a few hits from the enemy — and continue to fly. The Spit was the aviation thoroughbred, superb until damaged. The Hurri was much stronger. The skilled airmen came from all over the world; one of them from RAF 80 Squadron would later become a very famous author — Roald Dahl.
Using documents, letters, and firsthand accounts, this is the historic untold story of the Hawker Hurricane and the lives of the men and women who flew, helped design and construct, fit, and worked behind the scenes of the ‘Hurri’, all contributing in ways big and small, to its outstanding success as a legend of the Second World War.
