Waders of the North Sea

These Nordic Seafaring Tribes

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

During a horrendous storm upon the North Sea, these Mariners sailed with all their might and courage and braved the icy waves towards a fjord on the east coast of Denmark. Their sail had been tethered and so the oarsmen rowed the vessel 'Thorknorr' towards some 'mudflats' into a cove where they anchored the longboat. These tribes from 700AD were self - sufficient and demonstrate how they foraged and built a temporary longhouse in the Aspen forest. It describes how these tribes were able to survive some of the most freezing cold conditions. Their faith in the Spirit Thor of the sky and the Spirits Aegir and Ran protected them during the winter while they built their settlement before sailing home again, when the season changed into Spring. They lit fires along the shingle beach to guard them from the Arctic fox and scribed upon Runes to leave signs for any other Sea-faring mariners.

Autorenporträt

Angela enjoys researching historical events and likes to convey a story inspired from eras which later paved the way for human development. She enjoys delving into geographical places of interest and examines by way of research how certain events occurred, and from the evidence as recorded by carbon dating unravels the mystery which has altered patterns of social and traditional phenomena throughout the years. From the earliest times where these tribes explored in 700AD, it shows how the environment weaved a thread of hidden knowledge and the inscriptions discovered on Runes were recordings which became a dialogue. She likes to write short fables which are expressed through imagination and illustrates in pencil and watercolour.
