The Legend of Stor de Fred Storey

The Legend of Stor

Fred Storey

When Vikings raided the abbey of Lindisfarne in 793 they found the island of Britain awash in bloodshed and political upheaval. Numerous Anglo-Saxon kingdoms vied for supremacy while fighting off encroachment from ancient Celtic kindoms and the northern kingdoms of Scots and Jutes. Over the next several generations, invasions of Danish Vikings to the east and Norwegian Vikings to the west added to the melee. Out of these struggles would emerge the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of England. That event would also directly shape the destiny of one pivotal family for untold generations, directly impacting the creation and direction of Anglo-Saxon England. It would start with a young orphan named Stor descended from proud Viking sword warriors. Inspired by actual historical events, and a real family, this is his story."

Notă biografică

With a Master of Arts degree from the University of Regina, Fred Storey spent most of his professional career working for various governments and aboriginal organizations, looking for sustainable solutions to issues relating to the oppression of aboriginal nations. After retiring, he developed an interest in genealogy, looking into his family history and the origins of his own surname. As he uncovered information about his Viking ancestry, from the time of Britain's Dark Ages, he quickly recognized that what he was learning would be a solid foundation of a story well worth being told. The Legend of Stor is that story, based on his research, and is his first book. Storey lives with his wife in Langford, British Columbia.
