Description: Very Good. Bright copy with light corner edge wear, otherwise like new, pages clean & binding tight. 270 pp. "LaxdÅ“la saga is the saga of the clan/family of Laxárdalur. It is one of the most important Icelanders' sagas, originally written in medieval Icelandic (descended from Old Norse); probably in western Iceland sometime around the year 1245 AD. It is noted for its mention of the first known Norseman in the Varangian Guard: the Icelander Bolli Bollason. The author is unknown. "-Wikipedia. read more
"A good, solid Icelandic Saga (i.e. a multigenerational soap opera with a large number of murders, extensive genealogical detail, multiple prophecies and at least one ghost). Not my favorite, but a good read nonetheless."
