Composed in medieval Iceland, Hrolf’s Saga recalls ancient Scandinavia of the Migration Period, when the warrior chieftain King Hrolf ruled Denmark. Combining heroic legend, myth and magic, this saga is full of wizards, sorceresses and ‘berserker’ fighters, originally members of a cult of Odin. A powerful human drama with deep historical roots, extraordinary events and fierce battle scenes, Hrolf’s Saga ranks among the masterworks of the Middle Ages.

Hávamál is the words of wisdom which served as spiritual provisions for the Vikings on their long journeys over the rough sea to discover new lands. These sayings give a clear picture of their view of and attitude to life. It has often been compared to the old Chinese book of the Tao, which could be called the wisdom of the east. In the same manner, Hávamál is well described as the wisdom of the north. This small book is in a new and readable translation.

The Time Warp Trio take a surprise time hike back to A.D. 1000. There, Joe, Fred, and Sam get to know some Vikings up close and personal. Outfitted only with a zebra-striped bedspread and their brains, the boys find themselves in the midst of a family ruble between Leif Eriksson and Grim Snake-in-the-Grass. As ever, their wits serve them well, and the friends recognize the Viking version of the Book when they need it most. Scieszka works his usual quirky magic with bits of actual information inserted among the wisecracks, and McCauley’s cartoons parallel the unlikely plot. This wacky combination of story and art is just right for newly independent readers who enjoy a good joke. Grade 3-5.

This beautiful and versatile treasury of over 100 designs will prove an invaluable source of inspiration to everyone with an interest in the Viking heritage, not least to artists and designers both amateur and professional. The richness and energy of Viking design is indisputable equal to that of Celtic design and can be seen in the surviving metalwork, woodwork, textiles, stone and bone carvings, and ceramics of the Viking homelands of Norway., Denmark and Sweden as well as the western lands they colonized: Iceland, Northern Scotland, the Isle of Man and Ireland. Renowned artist Courtney Davis works within these ancient traditions to produce his own unique illustrations and designs. Presented here is a wealth of full- and half-page rectangles, key patterns, spirals, motifs, borders and corners, all rendered with exquisite finess.
