Meet Dagfrid, Viking Girl Many things bother Dagfrid. Her name, for starters. And life as a viking girl isn't exactly a piece of cake: you have rolled-up braids, like buns, on your ears, you wear dresses that are too long to run with, and you dry fish. In fact, fish is all you eat, even when you're not a girl. But girls, they can't even navigate and go explore America. Well, until now. Because Dagfrid is really sick of dried fish.

Viking gender roles are turned on their head Dagfrid's brother, Odalrik, has turned sixteen years old. For his birthday, he gets a sword and should be in training to be a great warrior, but all Dagfrid sees him doing is laying around. All the while, she not only has to do the cleaning and sewing, but has been given the "honor" of preparing the meal for the chief's banquet. Come to find out, Odalrik is bored and would love to learn how to cook and sew so he's not so bored all the time, but his lot in life as a male is to be a leader. Together, they decide it's all nonsense, so, hiding behind their house, Odalrik helps Dagfrid with the banquet and not only feels useful, but is quite good at cooking.

Da i v ostalnom uchast devochki-vikinga schastlivoj ne nazovjosh: prikhoditsja zapletat volosy v kosy i ukladyvat ikh v zavitushki nad ushami, nosit platja do pjat i vjalit rybu, edinstvennuju pischu vikingov. A eschjo devochkam ne razreshajut vykhodit v more i otkryvat Ameriku!No vechno tak prodolzhatsja ne moglo. Nastal den, kogda ryba vkonets oprotivela Dagfrid...Perevodchik: Darovskaja EkaterinaKhudozhnik: Tallek Olive

A Dagfrid hay muchas cosas que no le gustan, empezando por su nombre. La verdad es que la vida de una niña vikinga no es nada divertida: se peinan las trenzas enrolladas como caracolas sobre las orejas, se ponen vestidos demasiado largos y secan el pescado. Por si fuera poco, pescado es lo único que comen. Pero es que encima las niñas ni siquiera tienen derecho a navegar y a descubrir mundo. Bueno, hasta ahora. Porque Dagfrid ya se ha hartado del pescado seco.
