The Saga of Erik the Viking

Terry Jones was perhaps best known as a scriptwriter and member of Monty Python. He was also a successful historian, performer, director and writer for film, radio and television. His children’s books are enormously and enduringly popular, including Bedtime Stories, The Knight and the Squire, The Lady and the Squire, Nicobobinus and The Saga of Erik the Viking. Michael Foreman’s numerous books for children have earned him widespread recognition as one of the world’s leading illustrators. He has regularly collaborated with Terry Jones, Michael Morprugo and numerous others, alongside his own books which are considered modern classics. Titles include War Boy, War Game, Terry Jones’ Erik the Viking and Michael Morpurgo’s Farm Boy.
