12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
This story of Olaf the Glorious, King of Norway, opens with the
incident of his being found by his uncle living as a bond-slave in
Esthonia; then come his adventures as a Viking and his raids upon the
coasts of Scotland and England, his victorious battle against the
English at Maidon in Essex, his being bought off by Ethelred the
Unready, and his conversion to Christianity. He then returns to Pagan
Norway, is accepted as king and converts his people to the Christian
faith.
To Greenland and the Pole. A story of Adventure in the Arctic Regions.
By GORDON STABLES. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.
The unfailing fascination of Arctic venturing is presented in this
story with new vividness. It deals with skilobning in the north of
Scotland, deer-hunting in Norway, sealing in the Arctic Seas,
bear-stalking on the ice-floes, the hardships of a journey across
Greenland, and a successful voyage to the back of the North Pole. This
is, indeed, a real sea-yarn by a real sailor, and the tone is as
bright and wholesome as the adventures are numerous.
