    Author

    Ben Thompson

    Ben Thompson's comedy career began in the winter of 1986-7, reading a photocopied Ronnie Corbett monologue to an audience of angry students. He never performed again, but later took the opportunity to parade his ignorance of the basic principles of stagecraft in front of a national audience as comedy critic of The Independent On Sunday from 1994-97. He has also written profiles of Britain's best known comedians for The Face, GQ, The Independent, Night & Day and The Saturday Telegraph.

      Entertaining history of the Vikings. Written for a juvenile audience utilizing a teen-speak style, it nevertheless contained a number of details as well as historical figures I've never heard before. I've read several books on Vikings so a new source of detail, and as appealingly written, is welcome.
