Ronan was a mighty barbarian. He invaded. He raided. And back home, he traded. He always found the greatest treasures. Until one day, Ronan found something no barbarian wants: A BOOK. At first, his fellow barbarians are skeptical of his newfound passion for reading, but in the end, even they aren't immune to the charms of a good book.

“Ronan was a mighty barbarian—a leader of his people.
He invaded.
He raided.
And back home, he traded....
Until one raid went horribly wrong.
‘What's this?' he roared. ‘This is worthless.'“
What was Ronan to do? He'd found a chest of books. Barbarians didn't read books. Then he gave a book a try, and he discovered they were oddly compelling. It did not take long, and Ronan was obsessed with books. And he decided it was time to share books with his world.
Nothing warms the heart of this librarian like a book about books, a book that reveals the delights of reading to a non-reading sector of the world, a book like Ronan the Librarian. And who better to convert to the joys of books than barbarians.
Uff da!
