Hrethelsaga: Volume II

E. W. Farnsworth's HRETHELSAGA VOLUME II 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. Likewise, never before have the events surrounding the discovery of America as Vineland been sorted out along practicable, credible lines. Here you will read about Hrethel the dragon slayer and Hrethel fighting cruel hordes of enemies on all sides. The hero knows the family of Eric the Red and his son Leif. The commerce between the north countries of Europe and the distant lands of the New World is brisk by the time Leif made his voyage. Sorcery and witchcraft helped the heroes blaze their trail to glory. In these stories, shedding blood is the essence of combat. They are not for the timid or faint of heart.
