Children of the Vikings
This is history Pinewood Studios style. The adventure's the thing; if it happens to be against a crudely barbaric Viking backdrop, well that lends an excuse for a bit of swaggering, sword-wielding action. Two captured Angles, Elf and Olaf, end up as slaves in Iceland where they manage to upset their master Sigurd by riding off on his sacred horse, Freyfaxi. It's a good job Kari, the master's newly Christianised son, is handy to help them and when the volcano erupts (cue spectacular sound and visual effects) they can conveniently rescue their overlord and be forgiven and live happily ever after. A sprightly adventure yarn for lower secondary, upper juniors.
