About this listen

From the translator of the best-selling Poetic Edda comes a gripping new rendering of two of the greatest sagas of Old Norse literature.

Together the two sagas recount the story of seven generations of a single legendary heroic family and comprise our best source of traditional lore about its members - including, among others, the dragon slayer Sigurd, Brynhild the Valkyrie, and the Viking chieftain Ragnar Lothbrok.

the extremely dry academic start took a while to get past but the stories themselves were very compelling, and the history expanded upon was helpful.

academic but enjoyable

A very educational and enjoyable read, for any fans of the Vikings series or norse mythology you will absolutely love this. Beautifully translated by Jackson Crawford, Amazing story of heros still remembered over a thousand years later and warriors names are still be recalled to this day. This is only the second English translation of these two sagas to be published in one volume. Crawford's translation of both sagas reads fluently and engagingly. Reading this book has been, for me, a very enjoyable experience, since being an extra on the Vikings series, my love for old Norse mythology and legendary warriors has grown tenfold. This books contains generations of war, family feuds, magic, revenge, murder, the Legendary Ragnar Lothbrok, his sons and fantastic bloody battles. If you’re into Norse stories, you will really enjoy this, I very highly recommend..😁🔥⚔️🗡🪓

Very educational and a brilliant tale.
