The Story of Rolf and the Viking Bow

By Allen French

Rolf and the Viking Bow, Bethelehem Books 9781883937010A great read-aloud for children!  We liked the story and learned about honor.  I would skip the part where Frodi has a fight in the buried Viking ship.  Otherwise, it is a great study of the Vikings in Iceland and the Orkneys  after they have been Christianized.
