Original Illustration from the book “THE WONDER JOURNAL”

Inside everyone of us is a daring child who

yearns to go on a voyage with the Vikings.

We want to put on the two-horned helmets, board the warship,

and join the expedition with our heroes.

Instead of fading in the comforts of home,

we desire to dig canals in ice and

build long ships out of giant trees.

We want to be true explorers,

ready to flame the fire in search of the last frontier!

So, take us with you, mighty Norsemen!

We shall visit unknown kingdoms, rescue lost brothers,

unearth amazing treasures and perform great exploits!

So bid us farewell, sweet home!

We shall return when the spring comes and

flowers blossom again!
