Set in the Viking world of long boats, looting and grand adventure, The Goose
Pimple Bay Sagas relate the hilarious tales of a ruling family with a
difference. Book one introduces the two sons of Chief Thunderstruck and Ma
Moosejaw, Spike Carbuncle and Whiff Eric. Ma Moosejaw wants to leave Goose
Pimple Bay with her husband and travel north to see a white bear. But both sons
are useless. Who will look after things when they are gone? There’s only one
thing for it: the sons must each find a bride. Whoever returns with the best
one will rule Goose Pimple Bay. The other will be banished to the forest for
ever
