Dear B. Cornwell Thank you for the your statement in the Danish papaer, Berlingske Tidende: The Vikings discovered Russia, they discovered, they created. They travelled to Sicily to the Middle East – to Greenland. They created the long ship and it became their survivor. The Vikings were men- real men and the women- real women… they conqured , they were free, they represent fredom!! yes you are so right – Freedom and it is such a wonderful feeling. Though in Southern Europe we are misjudge as “easy women” but we are nothing but FREE. Thank you for a wonderful book & interview. The very best MIA
