Product Description
This is the tale of a Viking warrior by the name of Erik. But Erik is no ordinary Viking. With his trusty band of men he sets sail in search of the land where the sun goes at night – but he finds much more! The Sea Dragon, Dogfighters and giants combine to make his voyage a great saga of thrilling adventures.
Written by Terry Jones, most famous for his membership of the Monty Python team, this is a wonderful tale, expertly spun, which won the Children’s Book Award.

Format:Paperback
Whilst doing a topic on the Vikings, this book was a superb literacy resource. It was really useful for shared reading, superb for shared writing, great in guided work, and just a graet way of filling ten minutes. The format of short chapters that are all individual stories was particularly useful. My Yr 3 class loved it.

Eric the viking reads like a traditional icelandic or Norse saga, if you want heroes, strange beasts, wierd goings on and falling off the edge of the world; then this story is for you. Young readers would need to be competant or enjoy the challenge of reading quite a difficult text. This is an absorbing story for those who are prepared to suspend their disbelief and enter the land of legends. File next to Jason and the Argonauts or Kevin Crossley-Hollands' Norse Myths.

Format:Paperback
Lots of tales of adventure on the high seas, with monsters, demons and baddies galore. The chapters are fairly self-contained and can be read as stories in their own right. My son liked the adventure and the monsters, and I appreciated the insights into human nature. My only criticism is that it got a little repetetive by the end, but children won't mind at all.
