    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 is initiated into the pleasures of the senses and 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. Eventually, Orm contributes to the Viking defeat of the army of the king of England and returns home an off-the-cuff Christian and a very rich man, though back on his native turf new trials and tribulations will test his cunning and determination. Packed with pitched battles and blood feuds, and told throughout with wit and high spirits, Bengtsson's book is a splendid adventure that features one of the most unexpectedly winning heroes in modern fiction. ungekürzt.

    Hugh was born in Oxford, and his father, WGRM 'Ran' Laurie, was a doctor who won a gold medal in the coxless pairs at the 1948 Olympics. Hugh followed in his father's footsteps as a rower at Cambridge, but when he was forced to hang up his oars he joined the famous Cambridge Footlights and there began a career in comedy. It was at university that he met Stephen Fry, and the pair forged a hilarious partnership that continued through the 1980s and 1990s. Hugh has also enjoyed great success on the big screen; starring in Sense and Sensibility, 101 Dalmatians, Monsters vs Aliens and the three Stuart Little films. But it is the character of irascible doctor Gregory House, in the US TV drama House, that has brought global fame. He has won two Golden Globes for the role and received a prestigious Emmy nomination in 2005, and continues to receive critical acclaim for his performance in the show - especially for his near-perfect American accent. With worldwide fame and an OBE to his name, Hugh Laurie is undoubtedly one of Britain's best-loved actors. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Whistler.

    He caught up with the stranger, crashed into him with a force that made them both fall, so that they rolled over and over, sometimes together, sometimes apart, Hugh struggling to catch the fellow's coat, the man jerking violently to keep himself free. He struck, missed Hugh, and then was in the water, splashing to push off his boat, climbing in over the side and picking up the oars. There was nothing to be done now. Hugh stood on the bank and finally shouted the question that he should have asked at first. "What did you want? What were you doing?" With her masterful use of language, Cornelia Meigs has combined historical fiction and mystery in this wonderful tale set in early America. Two brothers, Jeremy and Hugh, move with their family to New Jersey. There, they hope to find a peaceful, secure home with their grandfather. However, the family fortune is in jeopardy, and Jeremy heads to Europe in search of a family ship that had been seized by the Dutch. Hugh gets a job as a gardener at the estate of Joseph Bonaparte, the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte who is in exile. Little does Hugh know the complex and mysterious adventure his new job will bring him. "The Scarlet Oak, by the master author Cornelia Meigs, is a great way to engage readers with top-quality literature. This wholesome adventure story, first published in 1938, keeps the reader turning the pages while experiencing life in a different time period." (Jenny Phillips) ungekürzt. Language: English.
