Goose Pimple Bay Sagas Spike Carbuncle And The Truly Enormous Egg

Set in the Viking world of long boats, looting and grand adventure, The Goose Pimple Bay Sagas relate the hilarious tales of a noble family with a difference. Spike Carbuncle is sick of being second in command to his weedy brother. So, when Spike's wife, Fangtrude, comes across a dragon's egg, together they formulate a plan to get rid of Whiff Erik, once and for all. There's just one hitch - dragon training isn't as easy as it sounds. What do you do when your dragon is terrible at breathing fire and prefers eating onions to live goats?
