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 narrator is the translator, and a Professor of Scandinavian studies, so he imparts real emotional tone and inflection in all the (apparent) right places. Loved it.

Excellent reading

As enthralling a retelling of these great feats as they were spoken of 100 years ago. Narrated well by Jackson Crawford.

The narration is so flat, I found I couldn't keep my mind on the story. A soothing sound to doze off to.

Could be reading a maintenance manual.
