Siegfried Dragon Slayer

Impulsive young Prince Siegfried craves glory and recognition from his aloof parents, the king and queen of Denmark. Starting a war with a neighbouring country and seeking out the most feared dragon in the realm seems like a good place to start. An epic tale full of action, adventure, mythological beasts, magical swords, powerful rings, and a treacherous companion. Adapted from the ancient Norse mythological Völsunga Saga, Siegfried: Dragon Slayer is the first in a two-part series by Canadians Mark Allard-Will and Jasmine Redford.

But his greatest and noblest: treasure was a lofty and truly royal mind, for King Siegmund was wife in counsel, brave in battle, and upright in judgement. He listened willingly to the advice of the wife and aged among his people, and was never displeased even if they spoke with rudeness and reproach.
