Velda the Awesomest Viking with David MacPhail
Velda is a tiny warrior with a BIG axe and an even BIGGER attitude. Listen as David MacPhail reads from the first book in his action-packed, hilarious new series, Velda the Awesomest Viking and the Voyage of Deadly Doom, then get your pencils ready to join in with some Viking drawing and discover your own longship name!
This event was created especially for school pupils for our Baillie Gifford Schools Gala Day at the 2021 Edinburgh International Book Festival, but it’s also enjoyable for children and families to watch.
