The Wolf Gudrun: The Viking Princess

1,000 years ago, in the wild lands of the north,

lived a special little girl.

The trees and animals of the forest were her friends and playmates.

Now travel back in time to join her games.

Come and explore the wild with...

After the long months of endless night,

winter has finally loosened its grip on the north.

The creatures of the wild can feel the seasons changing.

With the long storms finished, they are on the move.

The Viking warriors are also coming home,

for the first time since the sky darkened and the sea froze.

What a long winter it has been for Gudrun, the Viking Princess.

Could this be the day your father returns?

Is this one of his ravens guiding him home?

Hurry, Gudrun, down to the beach.

The wind is blowing from the west -

surely it is time, time for your father, King Sigurd, to come home.

But be careful as you run - not all the animals here are friendly.

There's nobody here.

Not a ship to seen.

But there's still time.

You are good at waiting.

Your father is out there somewhere, Gudrun.

But he must've landed somewhere else.

Maybe you won't see him today after all.

Keep your eyes wide open in the woods, Gudrun.

Did you hear footsteps?

Too fast to be the sound of a child running.

Too light for the sound of horses.

And there she is, a wolf.

Remember what your father taught you - stay still.

You may be frightened, Gudrun, but the wolf is frightened, too.

Keep still.

She's gone.

But who is this?

It's your father, the King.

What a time to arrive.

Well done, Gudrun.

You understood the wolf, and she understood you.

Now go home together and hear all about King Sigurd's adventures.

He'll teach you the ways of the wild.

He'll teach you to be a true princess of the Vikings.
