Thorfinn nodded obediently and went over to the fire to put the kettle on.

The two crews exchanged a wave, and Ragnar’s longship drew closer. A rope was thrown across the divide between them.

A giant man appeared at the other end of the rope. He started hauling himself across the gap with his hands, roaring and singing all the way.

“Oh-oh-oh-oh, a-pillaging villaging we will go,

Ay-ay-ay-ay, a-pillaging villaging every day.”

A gigantic horn of ale hung round Ragnar’s neck, and he stopped every once in a while to take a giant slurp from it.

The famous Granny-Wrestler reached the end of the rope and swung himself on board with his mighty arms. When he landed on the deck the whole boat seemed to shudder, as if it had been rammed by a whale. He cast a shadow over the other Vikings.

Ragnar was as tall as a fir tree. He had a beard that reached his ankles, and a sword so big that it could steer the ship. In fact he looked more like a bear dressed in clothes than a man.

Ragnar’s voice boomed when he spoke.

“I am Ragnar, son of Hakon the Wolf-Hunter, brother of Sven the Mace-Smasher. Even my mother had a name. She was Monika the Head-Basher-Inner.”
