  <description><![CDATA[&quot;This is the tale of a Viking warrior who lived hundreds and hundreds of years ago. His name was Erik. His ship was called Golden Dragon, and its figurehead was a fierce monster carved out of wood and covered with gold.&quot; So begins this lively series of adventures from master storyteller Terry Jones. Drawn from the most thrilling Nordic Sagas, <em>Erik the Viking</em> tells of a hero and his brave band of men who set sail in search of a new land. The wicked treachery of the Old Man of the Sea, the beguiling evil of the Enchantress of the Fjord, the ruthless and cold-blooded fury of the Dogfighters are but a few of their gripping encounters. Each chapter forms a complete story, while the mythical landscape is vividly depicted by Michael Foreman. Terry Jones is perhaps best known as a former member of Monty Python. His <em>Fairy Tales and Fantastic Stories</em> won Britain's coveted Smarties Prize. Michael Foreman is a widely acclaimed children's book illustrator.]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[I think I read this back in junior school and remember really enjoying it. It is one I've always thought about since but could never remember the title or author. As a kid I was never really good at remembering those. I just wanted to read the thing - who cared who wrote it or what the title is!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The only similarity to the movie Erik the Viking and this book is the title. The movie is a comedy, the book is YA action-adventure. Being a huge fan of Monty Python this book is somewhat of a letdown especially if you've seen the movie before reading the book.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&quot;This is the tale of a Viking warrior who lived hundreds and hundreds of years ago. His name was Erik. His ship was called Golden Dragon, and its figurehead was a fierce monster carved out of wood and covered with gold.&quot; So begins this lively series of adventures from master storyteller Terry Jones. Drawn from the most thrilling Nordic Sagas, <em>Erik the Viking</em> tells of a hero and his brave band of men who set sail in search of a new land. The wicked treachery of the Old Man of the Sea, the beguiling evil of the Enchantress of the Fjord, the ruthless and cold-blooded fury of the Dogfighters are but a few of their gripping encounters. Each chapter forms a complete story, while the mythical landscape is vividly depicted by Michael Foreman. Terry Jones is perhaps best known as a former member of Monty Python. His <em>Fairy Tales and Fantastic Stories</em> won Britain's coveted Smarties Prize. Michael Foreman is a widely acclaimed children's book illustrator.]]>

    <![CDATA[&quot;This is the tale of a Viking warrior who lived hundreds and hundreds of years ago. His name was Erik. His ship was called Golden Dragon, and its figurehead was a fierce monster carved out of wood and covered with gold.&quot; So begins this lively series of adventures from master storyteller Terry Jones. Drawn from the most thrilling Nordic Sagas, <em>Erik the Viking</em> tells of a hero and his brave band of men who set sail in search of a new land. The wicked treachery of the Old Man of the Sea, the beguiling evil of the Enchantress of the Fjord, the ruthless and cold-blooded fury of the Dogfighters are but a few of their gripping encounters. Each chapter forms a complete story, while the mythical landscape is vividly depicted by Michael Foreman. Terry Jones is perhaps best known as a former member of Monty Python. His <em>Fairy Tales and Fantastic Stories</em> won Britain's coveted Smarties Prize. Michael Foreman is a widely acclaimed children's book illustrator.]]>
