Travel to an ancient realm of magic where the powerful Grand Wizard
Koeus set in motion events that would lead to a cataclysmic end. In
his arrogance, he believed he could train ten apprentices in the
ways of magic. He created magical stones controlling the powers of
earth, wind, fire, and water. Using these stones, the apprentices
became powerful wizards, but their hearts became corrupt and turned
against Koeus when they learned of the life limitations the stones
imposed on them. The Grand Wizard was forced to destroy his
apprentices, but destroyed himself in the process.
Centuries later, after the great wizards have long vanished,
apprentices Kale and Masan are awarded the titles of wizard and
earn their first magical stones at the School of Hundir. They
embark upon a journey in search of other stones, and along the way,
learn the true power of friendship. Their quest takes them through
dangerous lands, where unlikely alliances are formed with Corsair,
a great warrior, Megaera, an omniscient elf, and Lasca a beautiful
and captivating thief. Through their quest the group discovers a
bond that unites them as they battle the powerful Darklocks, an
ancient evil threatening the peace of the lands.

An epic introduction to Norse mythology for students of all ages.
Based on the research of the 19th century Swedish poet and scholar,
Viktor Rydberg, Our Fathers' Godsaga retells the mythology of
Northern Europe in chronological order from Creation to Ragnaro k.
These are tales told by Vikings, epic tales of gods and giants,
elves and dwarves, and of how their interaction and wars affect the
first generations of human beings in the North. Based on a
comprehensive examination of the source material, including the
Icelandic Eddas and Sagas, this is likely the way Germanic
mythology looked at the end of the heathen era. Many will recognize
themes found here in J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion, particularly
the tale of the elf-smith Vo lund and his quest for revenge against
the Aesir, first detailed by Rydberg in his comprehensive
Investigations into Germanic Mythology, 1886. This is an original
translation of Viktor Rydberg's Fa dernas Gudasaga, his own
retelling of the complete Norse mythic epic, first published in
1887, and many times since. The text includes a complete catalog of
mythic names & the original artwork, from the 1911 German
translation, by renowned children's artist John Bauer (1882-1918).
This classic Swedish text appears in English now for the first
time."

woods and a figure familiar to us all. Some say he can still be
found deep in the English woods.
In the second Oliver Family Adventure, "Greenman," Tyler, Paige
and Tommy travel to England and learn about practical jokes, Celtic
culture, alternative religions, and why the English drive on the
other side of the road, all while immersed in another exciting
adventure
Arriving in Sutton Benger, England-a little village with a lot
of history-the Oliver's see a man in green get thrown off a bridge.
They soon meet Liam, their amiable host and deacon at the village
church, his niece Cerri, a spirited girl with a few stories to
tell, and encounter Edwin Bell, a mysterious man who lives in the
woods. Add Greenman, the timeless Celtic icon, and talk of magic in
the woods and soon young imaginations run wild with fears that may,
or may not, be real.
When a practical joke leads to unforeseen peril the children are
forced to face their fears. In the end they realize that
understanding a person's beliefs is the key to seeing those things
that make us the same, rather than those that make us
different.
