Bloodaxe
Children's Books2026 · 128 pp · Age 9+

Bloodaxe

Aleksander Kirkwood Brown

She was feared as a witch, hated as a queen and forgotten by history. Now, for the first time, Gunnhild, Queen of Norway, finally gets her own saga. Bloodaxe – The Saga of Queen Gunnhild is a gripping, visually stunning graphic novel that reimagines the life of one of the Viking Age’s most fascinating and misunderstood women. Married to King Erik Bloodaxe, who murdered his brothers to seize the throne, Gunnhild was mother to eight warrior sons and a strategist in her own right. For centuries, she’s been portrayed as manipulative and cruel. But in this version, she’s revealed as a complex, intelligent woman fighting to protect her family in a violent, male-dominated world. Blending drama, history and myth, this is Viking storytelling at its most powerful.

Where Do Words Come From?

Where Do Words Come From?

Ingebjørg Tonne / Helene Uri

Our language is around us all the time, and we use hundreds of words every single day. Some words are funny to pronounce, some are complicated, some sound foreign. But where do they really come from? Etmyology is the study of the history of the form of words – the history of and the history about words. Many think it’s exciting knowing where words come from, and in this beautifully illustrated book, big and small readers get lots of interesting material to frolic in. Because the ciabatta does after all taste extra good when you know the word really means ‘slipper’ in Italian. And maybe you’ll jump up even quicker when the fire alarm sounds, and you know that alarm means ‘to weapon’? Windows are wind eyes, a hole where the wind can blow through. Shampoo is a Hindi word, which means to massage.

All About Periods

Norwegian girls are ashamed of their period.

A woman has more than 450 periods, or 2,250 days of menstruation, in one lifetime. We cannot accept that there are so many days in girls’ and women’s lives where many feel ashamed or are excluded from opportunities that boys and men have.16 famous Norwegian women and girls tell the story of the first time they had their period, and each story is accompanied by a fact box about different aspects of having a period.
