Book One: The Littlest Viking is the printed version of the first chapter of B\u00eborn&#8217;s saga , and you can pre-order Book Two: The Tree and the Troll now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bender describes this project in his own words, writing &#8220;B\u00eborn knows he will be a legendary warrior any day now. In the meantime, he&#8217;ll spread his personal brand of mischief across his new home&#8230;a fantastical island where ancient myths, powerful gods, and magical fairy tales come to life.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though adventures and mishaps abound and little B\u00eborn runs into a heap of characters, the center of this story revolves around his friendship with a troll named Goob. The artwork is consistent and adorable, with a wholesome feel reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Humorous and heartfelt, this is one story that readers of any age will love and enjoy.
