Book Synopsis The Saga of the People of Laxardal and Bolli Bollason's Tale by : Leifur Eiricksson
Book excerpt: The action of the saga takes place at the end of the tenth century, at about the time Scandinavia was converting from worship of Norse gods to Christianity. A masterpiece of medieval literature, the story focuses on two families — that of Hoskuld, a prominent farmer with several sons, and that of Gudrun, the most beautiful woman ever born in Iceland.
