Highly illustrated,slyly clever hilarity for Norse lovers of 8+.A laugh-out-loud epic adventure. Bonkers and brilliant!A visually joyous,effortlessly hilarious epic of dogs,ducks,Vikings and magic!Always down but never out,Leif is another amazing creation from Northfield's neverending bag of tricks. Complete with a hilarious bunch of friends,Leif the Unlucky Viking should come with a snigger warning - your sides will hurt from laughter. I've no idea how Northfield's mind works; long may it continue!!Northfield presents Leif's adventures in a combination of text and cartoons,with dialogue literally put in characters mouths,making for an exciting read that reluctant readers ready to move on from fully illustrated graphic novels,such as Dogman,will find engaging.
