Old Icelandic is a variety of Old West Norse that emerged during the Norse settlement of Iceland in the second half of the 9th century. The rich tradition of Icelandic story telling survived by oral tradition over several centuries before being written down in the 13th Century. The Tales of Icelanders are known as Íslendinga  ttir. The word ' áttr' (plural: '  ttir') translates as a strand of rope or a yarn, comparable to the word 'yarn' in English sometimes used to refer to a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book contains: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The Tale of Helgi Thorisson (Helga  áttr  órissonar)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The Tale of Audun of the West Fjords (Auðunar  áttr vestfirzka)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The Tale of Thorstein Staff-Struck ( órsteins  áttr stangarhöggs)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe texts are presented in Old Norse and Old Icelandic, in their original form, with a literal word-for-word line-by-line translation, and a Modern English translation, all side-by-side.
