Book
The Secret Fiord
First published 1949
Around 1400, a journey into a remote Norwegian fjord brings young travellers into conflict with merchants, local power and a concealed threat. Sea travel and harsh terrain make knowledge of trade routes and communities essential to survival.
Trease uses the adventure to explore the commercial network of the Hanseatic League and the dependence of northern settlements on maritime exchange. The novel presents medieval Europe as interconnected through shipping, credit and migrant merchants.
