Inhaltsangabe

A professional artist whose specialty is mixed, recycled media, Mia Hocking masterfully created the illustrations for Seven Viking Days, designing a dreamy, multilayered collage of images and backgrounds. Now this Second Edition showcases the quality of her artwork in a far superior format. Her vibrant, captivating illustrations make Seven Viking Days a hit not only with children and grandchildren, but for their parents and grandparents as well. Both Publishers Weekly and Midwest Book Review have praised this book. Her unique, 3-D relief original artwork is faithfully captured with professional photographs. She teamed up with Lee Cuesta, a professional journalist, who thoroughly researched ancient Norse and Scandinavian myths and legends to uncover the authentic origins of our days’ names. So Viking tales of Woden, Fenrir, Frigg, Saturn, Thor and his hammer, Mjolnir, and more fill this book. From these tales, Vikings named the seven days of our week. Cuesta weaves these stories in the context of Viking lifestyle, history and society. The result is a gorgeous presentation of Viking vignettes in an engaging, spirited conversation between Sun and the Viking boy, Canute, which reinforces the correct sequence of the days with repetition and symbolic icons, enabling children to learn them quickly and accurately. As an additional bonus, the hardcover of this Second Edition is now less expensive than the first, and it also is available in paperback.
