The Story of Rolf and the Viking Bow
By Allen French
 A 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.
