[From front jacket flap] Björn, a red-blooded Viking from Sweden, tells the story of how he acquired his many fearsome-looking scars and had a fine time doing it. As a young boy in Birka, Björn is tired of his staid life of pickling herring and chopping wood. He decides to leave in search of adventure on the high seas. His voyages span the world, from the coasts of Ireland to exotic Byzantium, and along the way Björn teaches young readers about Viking history, art, religion, and sport. He also confesses to the real story behind his scars, which aren't at all what they seem!
