I read The Long Ships a few years ago and it is delightful - your brother James recommended it to me, Jack III. As soon as I read it I sent it as a gift to an old friend - he and I had read many of the same books over the years. A week later I got this note: "Devoured The Long Ships. I can't remember the last time I was this entertained. How did we miss this?"

It is absolutely one of those books that should be more well known than it seems like it is. I’m enjoying it more than the first time I read it, which was a welcome surprise
