'Thorfinn comes from a long line of ferocious, rampaging Vikings... But Thorfinn is a peace-loving, tea-drinking, jam-making thoroughly nice Viking... the first in a series by David MacPhail for newly fluent readers. The short, funny story is enhanced with illustrations by Richard Morgan.' -- Jane Sandell, The Scotsman '...delightful and truly funny brand new series.' -- lovereading4kids 'A thrilling novel. The best I've read.
