The first in a series of five books about a viking family and the people around them. The first two follow the story seen through the Irish slaves. A great and honest read of a time quite long ago, but still portrayed with lessons valid today.

A nice children's book about vikings.

Zajímavý příběh, který řekl bych celkem věrně vystihuje kutou realitu středověkého života. Malí fanoušci vikingů asi po přečtení přijdou o své hrdiny, na druhou stranu i v českých zemích ve středověku kvetl obchod s otroky, takže je asi dobré vědět, že nepadali z nebe a nešlo o nějaké bezduché roboty. Doporučuji o trošku starším dětem.

P. S.: Podle GR vyšly i další díly série (tahle kodovka spojuje I. a II. díl), docela rád bych si je přečetl :)

A decent little book for what it is. More like 3.5-4 stars. This version has been translated from Norwegian to English which made the overall feel of the book a little empty. Quite happy to be only the 112th person to have rated this book though, haha.

Dette er en bok jeg elsket da jeg var yngre, og nå har jeg lest den om igjen. Historien er ikke den aller beste, men den gir et bra innblikk i hvordan livet til noen som ble tatt som trell av vikingene.

I remember reading this as a kid, found it in a gift shop while visiting Newfoundland. Really liked it and would've liked to read the sequels. It was printed on really crappy paper.
