Viking Adventure

Growing up in Norway during the time of the ancient Vikings, young Sigurd was expected to lead an adventuresome and rugged life. His father, Olaf the Strong, taught him to be stalwart and brave, and although the lessons were tough, Sigurd learned them well. He heard wonderful stories of Wineland, a place far across the sea. Some people said that it didn't exist at all. But Sigurd yearned to go there. Then came the day when his father said he might go, so he set sail in a Viking ship for that distant land. The trip was long and perilous, and Sigurd found that he needed all the lessons his father had taught him. With treacherous men aboard, he would have to outwit his enemies and the dangerous sea in order to return to his homeland safely. Viking Adventure is the exciting story of Sigurd, who learned to combine wisdom and courage. He was a boy much like a boy of today, but his training and his life were very different. Clyde Robert Bulla, a beloved storyteller, has given strength and simplicity to this authentic tale of a rugged people. Numerous black and white illustrations from Douglas Gorsline.
