In Scandinavia, tradition involved a storyteller who would tell the historical stories of his people wherever he went. The stories often took the form of poems and sometimes songs. Come and sit now and listen to the storyteller pass these same stories on to you. Ragnar Lodbrok, Kraka, Freya, Frode, Erik, Leif, Helge and Beowulf are only just a few of the Scandinavian men and women that you will meet in these stories. Wars and sea battles, love and treachery; these are the events that brought about the civilized Christian kingdoms.
