Haakon is the older son of Magnus Mucklechopper and Thora Thunderthighs, and is the one in the village who most loves the ponies and helps out Knud in feeding, grooming and caring for them.  His favourite is a gentle mare called Hilda that he first sat on as a tiny toddler and he, Hilda and his dog, Harald the Hairy, love nothing better than to set out on an adventure together with a lump of cheese, a flask of water and a bone for the dog. He is often in trouble but everybody treats him kindly as he is, after all, the son of Thora Thunderthighs.  Haakon is one of a cast of Viking characters of my own design, mounted in Ivory to fit any standard 7 x 9” frame
