A good companion to the study of Norse mythology, this engaging work tells of a curious young Icelandic boy seeking adventure who courageously embarks on a quest to save his village from freezing darkness. After the mythical wolf Fenrir extinguishes the fire in the village, Arthur, with the help of the Norse gods, sets out to acquire the only thing that can capture Fenrir and bring light back to the world. Arthur demonstrates perseverance and courage along the way, as he encounters many dangers and obstacles, and he truly becomes a hero. The book is the first in a series of graphic novels.
