Children of Tax and Tea is a full-color, heavily illustrated, hardback humorous history book about the vikings written in the charmingly profane tone of a foul-mouthed Bostonian. Basically, imagine an inebriated Mark Wahlberg movie character unloading all sorts of informative and factual knowledge about the Viking Age on a captive audience.
The book stems from McSweeney's longest-running column, "Norse History for Bostonians," that humor writer Rowdy Geirsson created in 2010 and that comic artist Matt Smith has illustrated since 2017. The book expands significantly on the extensive online repository of "Norse History for Bostonians" with all new text and illustrations. It also provides a smooth-flowing, easy-to-read narrative in standard English while maintaining the tone of the online column. So that means if you've ever wanted to learn more about Harald Fairhair's egregious taxation without representation policies or the intense Norse-Irish rivalry with old York, you will finally be able to do so without needing to decipher the incomprehensible accent of a drunkard in Southie.
Children of Tax and Tea consists of 40 chapters with deeply honest and insightful titles about Norse history such as "False Advertising in the Era of Viking Age Exploration," "Shit Talk at the Law Rock," and "How to Get Paid to Stop Attacking Paris." It also includes a special foreword by the knowledgeable law-speakers of the Saga Thing podcast, Andy Pfrenger and John Sexton.
