Hrethelsaga: Volume I, 2nd Edition

E. W. Farnsworth's HRETHELSAGA VOLUME I* is a collection of fragmentary tales about the daring Viking monster slayer Hrethel and his men and women. As in other sagas of Norse heroes, these tales often border on the fabulous, but their substance and tone ring true. Never before have the Viking deities been presented with such verisimilitude and conviction. Here you will read about Hrethel the dragon slayer and Hrethel fighting cruel hordes of enemies on all sides. In these stories, shedding blood is the essence of combat. They are not for the timid or faint of heart. *Note: This book is the SECOND EDITION of HRETHELSAGA VOLUME I with an additional four stories included with the original twelve stories.E. W. Farnsworth, a writer living in Ohio, USA, is widely published online and in print. While he is a constant student of the original Old English poetry, including the masterwork Beowulf, Farnsworth imitates the language, tropes, customs and forms of the entire Norse and Icelandic saga tradition in his collection Hrethelsaga. His growing cast of heroes and heroines of the nordic regions includes Hrethel the Viking, Reanna the Red and Wiglaff the Shaman.
