Ah, I remember that book now; I read it over twenty years ago from the library! IIRC, there were a couple of historical gaffes, but only a couple and still a bloody good yarn.

Now I want to read it again.

The film makers will probably add a few "Play to the public historical mistakes" of thier own, I just can´t see how they will be able to get away with having the whole Story condensed into one film..I´m going to read the book again as well

Saw this on local news. Exciting stuff, I hope for more news soon. I really must visit the castle again. It's been at least a year!

I am so glad to hear that they reported the find to Finland's authorities so that the grave's contents could be excavated in context and all the finds could then be properly dated and identified.

I've been looking at that on the local news. Apparently some old Spanish woman has volunteered to help them restore the paintings.

This is my Dad! He is a warrior. When I grow up, I want to be a warrior just like him!

Those are wonderful. I don't know why, but it put a lump in my throat for some reason, the way kids have obviously been doodling the same things in the same ways for hundreds (or thousands?) of years.
