The Saga of Erik the Viking

Product Information

The second collaboration between Jones and Foreman (the first was their "Fairy Tales", which one reviewer conceded, "The Brothers Grimm and Marx together could not have done better), a wonderful spoof on, and paean to, the Viking Age, and a rollicking adventure, to boot.

Maroon cloth boards bumped to the corners, otherwise covers and contents clean, binding tight and square. Being Scandinavian (and having an intense passion for vikings when I was little), my mother bought this book for me when I was learning how to read. I loved it, so much so that when my son reaches five he'll have the pleasure of hearing me re-read this aloud to him. Sure signs that the creative wells are running dry at last, the Captain’s ninth, overstuffed outing both recycles a villain (see Book 4) and offers trendy anti-bullying wish fulfillment.Join our community to get personalised book suggestions, extracts straight to your inbox, 10% off RRPs, and to change children’s lives.
