Synopsis:

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. Rowe
- Includes Quicklinks to find out more about the Vikings
- Vibrant, comic-strip illustrations
