Eleanor Barraclough

I'm John Batchelor, continuing with Eleanor Barraclough, the author of the new book Embers of the Hands, Hidden Histories of the Viking Age.

Importantly, Eleanor works with objects.

And once the object is found, sometimes in burial mounds, sometimes buried, sometimes just turns up in a field, you then need to interpret it.

We're going to stay in Iceland because we're going to go into another world beneath the ground.

The book is Embers of the Hands, Hidden Histories of the Viking Age.

Eleanor Barraclough is the author.

I'm John Batchelor.

I'm John Batchelor with the author and historian and broadcaster, Embers of the Hands, Hidden Histories of the Viking Age by Eleanor Barraclough, who reads her book brilliantly.
