  The Völsunga saga is a legendary saga, a late 13th-century poetic rendition in Old Norse of the origin and decline of the Völsung clan (including the story of Sigurd and Brynhild and the destruction of the Burgundians). It is one of the most famous legendary sagas and an example of a "heroic saga" that deals with Germanic heroic legend.    The saga covers topics including the quarrel between Sigi and Skaði, a huge family tree of great kings and powerful conquerors, the quest led by Sigmund and Sinfjǫtli to save princess Signý from the evil king Siggeir, and, most famously, Sigurd killing the serpent/dragon Fáfnir and obtaining the cursed ring Andvaranaut that Fáfnir guarded.

  'Thank goodness for Michael Morpurgo' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Telegraph 
  'Moving, unique and utterly charming. This is why Michael Morpurgo is the nation's favourite storyteller' Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear 
  “They call me Cobweb. I’ll tell you why later. I may be a dog, but I know and understand a lot more than people think I do.” 
  Britain. 1815. After years of loss and sacrifice, the end of the war with Napoleon is approaching. 
  Cobweb knows nothing of the war – he loves being a young puppy and playing with his owner, Bethan, exploring the countryside and chasing rabbits. 
  But when he is taken away from Bethan and sold, Cobweb must learn to become a Drover’s Dog – herding sheep and cattle for hundreds of miles on the long, treacherous journey to London. 
  And after the Napoleonic wars finally come to an end with the Battle of Waterloo, Cobweb meets an unexpected stranger with an incredible tale to tell on his journey home … 
  In this top juvenile fiction, Michael Morpurgo, the Sunday Times bestselling author, takes us on a wild journey through the eyes of Cobweb, a dog who experiences the harsh realities of the post-Napoleonic era. The historical and military aspects of the story are intricately woven into the narrative, making it a must-read for kids and adults alike. 
  For fans of Madeleine L'Engle (A Wrinkle in Time), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), Michelle Magorian (Be Yourself), Katherine A. Applegate (The One and Only Family), and Louis Sachar (Sideways Stories From Wayside School).
