I did find an affordable offer and ordered it. Today it was in my box. What a marvellous gem! Just stopped flipping pages to write this post.
As for your latest suggestion:
As a German, I did not know Dr. Seuss. The net told me a lot about him,
and of course we know Grinch a.s.o.
Funny, how children books can give ideas for role-playing, but you see
it again and again, how grown ups visit the movies for modern versions
of those.
Thanks again, Keith
I give you one of my favourites:
Frans G. Bengtsson: The Adventures of Röde Orm (English title: The Long Ships in)
Old Germans (and Danes, Norse, Swedes), Vikings, christianisation and religious razzmatazz (don't
forget the Moores in that time)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frans_G._Bengtsson (sorry, of course the
German and Swedish wiki tells much more about him, but that would not
help most of you ;-)

May be it is still in time to have this very funny, suspenseful, and still historical correct Saga (Bengtsson "almost" being historian) “under your X-Mas tree”!
