Both books are great adventure stories for young people and adults. My dad is in his 80s, a lifelong outdoorsman, and he really enjoyed reading this book. As in "Lost in the Barrens", there are a lot of authentic details about survival and the history of the north, including fascinating parts about hunting methods of the Eskimos, early Viking explorers, and the "stone men" of the tundra. There are many lessons about personal strength and courage, and valuing others. This is one of my favorite books to re-read and to pass on to youngsters and anyone who likes roughing it in the out of doors. Review: Though a "young reader's" book, it's still a great Farley Mowat story. - This book was a shame to put down. Geer's wonderful illustrations are a perfect fit for this book by Mowat---I wish they both had done more books together, whether in this series or others. I strongly recommend this book, and this particular publisher's copy, to any collectors of either Mowat's writings or Geer's illustrations, or of good books in general. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,700,377 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #255,477 in Mystery, Thriller & Suspense (Books) #1,369,061 in Literature & Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 101 Reviews | ## Images ![The Curse of the Viking Grave - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518M+NbkTbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great adventure story by Farley Mowat *by S***N on March 25, 2006* "The Curse of the Viking Grave" is the seqel to "Lost in the Barrens".

I have previously read and reviewed Lost in the Barrens in which sixteen year old Jamie Macnair had to leave his Toronto, Ontario, school after his parents died, and went to live with his uncle Angus Macnair, who made his living as a fur trapper and trader, at Macnair Lake in far north Manitoba, where he makes friends with Awasin Meewasin, the son of the local Woodland Cree Indian band chief. Jamie and Awasin go with some Chipeweyans on a deer hunt into the Barrens near Eskimo territory but get separated from the hunting party when they make a side trip to see the “Great Stone House” and must spend the dangerous winter season by themselves in the solitary north lands, eventually returning with another friend, Peetyuck Anderson, a part Eskimo boy whose English trapper father had died. Mowat, who also wrote Owls in the Family (1962), a semi-autobiographical book about his childhood, passed away in May of this year. In The Curse of the Viking Grave, Uncle Angus goes off to sell some of his furs, comes down with a serious case of influenza, and is being treated as a charity patient. When Jamie hears of this, he gets the idea of returning to the “Great Stone House” to retrieve some of the Viking relics with the hope of selling them to a museum for money to pay for his uncle’s treatment. So the three boys, along with Awasin’s sister Angeline, set off on their mission. However, they learn that the police are after Jamie to put him in foster care. And they find that some of the Eskimos are none too keen on desecrating the Viking grave because of an old curse. Will the youngsters get caught? Can they make it to the “Great Stone House,” or will the Eskimos keep them from it? And how will four teenagers get to Churchill all by themselves to sell the relics? As for language, the “d” word is used once. There are some common euphemisms (darn, heck, gosh), along with the phrases “ye gods” and “devils of hell,” and a couple of references to smoking pipes. However, this story of survival is packed with excitement and contains little-known information about the customs of Viking explorers and the hunting methods of the Eskimos. It also portrays the bond of youthful friendship and the wonders of a virtually unexplored land. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/40003401-the-curse-of-the-viking-grave](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/40003401-the-curse-of-the-viking-grave) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
