JACKIE FRENCH THEY CAME ON VIKING SHIPS PAPERBACK VGC

This is the story of a Scottish wolfhound called Snarf and his owner, Hekja, whose simple but happy lives change unrecognisably when their village is raided by Vikings.

As a puppy, Snarf is fortuitously rescued by a young girl called Hekja when he is badly injured. Both are then captured by raiding Vikings and transported to ′Vinland′ with Freydis Ericsdottir, half-sister of Leif Ericson (who is usually credited with ′discovering′ America. Both Freydis and Leif are the children of Eric the Red, who founded the Greenland colony.)

This page-turning story is set against an historical backdrop and the book is both fascinating and historically informative.

In VERY good condition.
