A Slave's Tale

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Leo Dillon & Diane Dillon. Haugaard's first children's book and its sequel are stark, epic Viking period novels infused with the feeling of Norse sagas. They focus, respectively, on young Hakon, who inherits an island kingship but must fight his uncle for his birthright; and young Helga, who accompanies Hakon to France on a mission to return a former slave to his homeland. Review covers these titles: Hakon of Rogen's Saga and A Slave's Tale.
