Poems by Kate Wakeling, illustrated by Elīna Brasliņa

“Skig the warrior was more of a worrier.
He didn’t want to spear deer
or pillage villages
or hoot and toot when the crew looted somewhere new.
He’d rather play Scrabble than join the rack and rabble.
Yep, Skig was in no hurry to be a warrior.
It only made him worry (and sorrier).”
