Viking Tales of the North is a collection of two sagas, Thorstein, Viking's Son and Fridthjof the Bold, as well as a translation of Tegner's Fridthjof's Saga. The book, originally published in 1901, is compiled by Rasmus B. Anderson and features stories of legendary Viking heroes and their adventures. Thorstein, Viking's Son tells the tale of Thorstein, a young Viking who sets out on a journey to avenge his father's death. Along the way, he encounters fierce battles, treacherous enemies, and a love interest that tests his loyalty. Fridthjof the Bold, on the other hand, follows the story of a brave Viking warrior who falls in love with a princess but is forced to overcome many obstacles to win her hand in marriage. Tegner's Fridthjof's Saga is a poetic retelling of the story of Fridthjof and his love for the princess Ingeborg. This version is translated by Anderson and included in the book, adding to the collection of Viking tales. Overall, Viking Tales of the North is a thrilling read for anyone interested in Viking mythology and legends. The book provides a glimpse into the world of Viking culture and their heroic tales of bravery, love, and adventure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
