Iceland is a country where stories are as important as history.
When Vikings settled the island, they brought their tales with
them. Every rock, hot spring and waterfall seems to have its own
story. Cruel man-eating trolls rub shoulders with beautiful elves,
whose homes are hidden from mortal view. Vengeful ghosts envy the
living, seeking to drag lost loves into their graves - or they may
simply demand a pinch of your snuff. Some of the stories in this
collection are classic Icelandic tales, while others are completely
new to English translation. Hjoerleifur has always been deeply
interested in the rich lore of his island. His grandparents
provided a second home in his upbringing and taught him much about
the past through their own way of life. Hjoerleifur is dedicated to
breathing fresh life into the stories he loves.
