Story4.5 out of 5 stars 780
Bengtsson's hero, Red Orm-canny - courageous and above all lucky - is only a boy when he is abducted from his Danish home by the Vikings and made to take his place at the oars of their dragon-prowed ships. Orm is then captured by the Moors in Spain, where he fights for the Caliph of Cordova. Escaping from captivity, Orm washes up in Ireland, where he marvels at those epicene creatures, the Christian monks, and from which he then moves on to play an ever more important part in the intrigues of the various Scandinavian kings and clans and dependencies.

Fly Goose...Shoo...do not buy this!
Whatever you do, do not buy this book. Somehow the producers have managed to take a beautiful play and suck the life right out of it. The translation is horrible and the voice "talent" is very lacking.
To borrow from the play--they mouth their verse and moan their tragedy (of course, you won't hear this line in this production)
The money spent here is better spent purchasing the Jose Ferrer movie. Buy this audiobook only if you enjoy great language butchered.
And, as I end the review, thrust home!
