Join Olaf, the brave and heroic young Viking, in an hilarious and spectacular action-packed and fast-paced adventure of derring-do. Olaf is utterly irresistible and the slapstick humour that splatters through the pages will have your children writhing around in hysterics.
Olaf is desperate to find his father. It's been a long time since he disappeared, and it could be Olaf's big chance to be a hero. So when his uncle makes it clear that he is more interested in carousing, marauding, and pillaging than in finding his long-lost brother, Olaf decides to take matters into his own hands.
