After falling overboard from his longboat, Sigurd the Viking finds himself in modern-day Flotby – a small English seaside town. Finding refuge in the aptly named Viking Hotel, Siggy’s attempts to embrace modern ways end in disaster. His attempt at romance is no better off as even the course of true love doesn’t run smoothly when Siggy’s involved!
There’s a Viking in My Bed by ‘king of comedy’ Jeremy Strong is the hilarious story of Sigurd the Viking, who finds himself transported to a modern-day seaside town in England. Will he be able to adapt to modern ways?
This is a witty, light-hearted text to use to help draw out the differences between Viking and modern times. More for entertainment than historical accuracy, this is a popular choice in lower KS2.
