Description


The worst things happen at sea Being lost at sea is the worst thing that can happen to any sailor, but being shipwrecked on the islands of Lolland with no way to reach the other arm rings of Yngvar is the worst thing that could happen to the children of Ribe. To make matters worse, the snows of winter have fallen, making any progress to their next destination virtually impossible. Strange sounds in the nights are making everyone nervous and none of the guardians of the arm rings of Yngvar know what is causing them. Erland, Eva, Christian, Dalla, Riki, Joas, Oleg, Beatrix, Camila and Pieter are stranded with no idea of what to do next and not even the winter snows are holding back the tides of war. =]=+= The Children of Ribe is a Viking Saga for children bringing the culture and mythology of the Danish Vikings to life. The book series has been influenced by Enid Blyton, Arthur Ransome, Susan Cooper, J R R Tolkien and C. S. Lewis. Based in Denmark during the time of the Vikings, these books are tales of magic and danger that are suitable for children from the ages of seven and up to read on their own but also perfect for people to read to children from the age of 4. The Children Ribe is a modern fairy tale that brings elements of Danish folklore and mythology to life mixed with elements of Viking culture.
