„The Vikings are coming!“ 

I will tell you about the Viking seafarers and their golden-haired maidens. Legends about the cruelties of those fearless old salts spread throughout the coastal communities of the northern seas, and the stories about their attacks, trips and adventures still stir both children and grown-ups.

In his book, illustrator and excellent storyteller Mauri Kunnas will tell a few Viking tales in the spirit of the Old Norse sagas. Here we will meet such brave warriors and voyagers as Gunnar from the Goat Fiord, Erik the berserk or Sigas the dream-sighted and the clever girl Osia, and even Buttercup, a homesick cow. You will also find historical information about the Viking ships, homes and towns, their life and habits, their gods and kings.
