Celebrating the world of words

What do Vikings know about raising children? Turns out, quite a lot…

After a decade of living in Denmark and raising a family there, Helen Russell noticed that Scandinavian children are different from UK children back home. How to Raise a Viking gives a fascinating peek behind the cultural curtain of how the Nordic nations raise their kids.

Join Helen for a book talk at Newark Book Festival, as she takes to the stage at Newark Town Hall. Refreshingly funny and unfailingly optimistic about the new generation of humans growing up in the world right now, this is a heart-warming love letter to Russell’s adopted homeland and proof that we could all use a bit more Viking in our lives.
