Oh, York. Yeah, that explains why one of those ghosts sounds like he was a Viking, innit?

So is that where you are now, York? I've never been there, but we had a whole load of books about the Vikings, and how they fought everyone and took all their gold and were totally wizard and terrifying and all. And this one story was about this Viking kid coming with his father and uncles and all to York when it wasn't even a city yet and having all these awesome adventures.
