Produktbeschreibung

Long ago the ancient Norsemen perfected their swift-sailing, dragonheaded longships. They left rugged fiords in search of open land, trade, treasure, or fame. They landed in North America over four hundred years before Columbus. Their exploits are recounted in the ancient Norse sagas. A Dream of Dragons is a modern saga written with all the power of a true story retold in the ageless rhythms of blank verse and beautifully illustrated by Mary Azarian
