24 Hours with the Vikings - Lan Cook

A Viking family in Norway loads up their ship and enjoys a farewell feast before setting sail to set up home overseas. What dangers might they face at sea? Will the Norse gods protect them on their journey? Meet a brother and sister as they say goodbye to their old home and prepare for adventure. Before they go, there's time for one last lesson in sword fighting, and a final visit to their ancestors at the burial ground. Their grandmother tells them tales of her own seafaring adventures and shows them how to read Norse writing - runes. This comic is filled with details about every aspect of Viking life, interwoven with stories of trolls and vengeful ghosts and legends of gods and monsters. Written by Lan Cook, who studied Norse history at Cambridge University, with expert advice from Professor E.A.
