Summary "Viking Boys" by Jessie Margaret Edmondston Saxby is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young Shetland boy named Yaspard Adiesen, who is filled with admiration and longing for the adventurous days of the Vikings. Alongside his younger sister Signy, he draws inspiration from tales of bravery and exploration, prompting them to embark on playful adventures that invoke the spirit of the Vikings while navigating the complexities of familial feuds and friendship. The opening of the novel introduces Yaspard and Signy as they daydream about the Viking era from their crag by the sea. Yaspard, yearning for excitement and camaraderie, expresses his desire to embody the Viking spirit, while Signy pragmatically appreciates the benefits of modern life. The siblings share a close bond as orphans, highlighting their affection and interplay. As Yaspard devises a plan to engage in Viking-like antics, their innocent flirtation with adventure is juxtaposed against the backdrop of an ongoing family feud with the Garsons of Lunda. The dynamic between the characters sets the tone for Yaspard's quest for freedom, friendship, and perhaps trouble, as he looks to engage with the boys of Lunda against his uncle's wishes.
