From the translator of the bestselling Poetic Edda (Hackett, 2015)
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.

Pre-order the BRAND NEW instalment in the bestselling Mulberry Lane
series!With Mulberry Lane's favourite pub, The Pig & Whistle
undergoing renovation, proprietors Peggy and Able Ronoscki leave
the chaos behind and head off on a trip of a lifetime to America.
But disaster hits and Peggy finds herself in a critical condition
in hospital. Meanwhile, business is booming for young entrepreneurs
Fay Ronoscki and Maggie Rowan with their new restaurant and
catering empire. It seems neither has time for love. But when fate
throws a famous global singing sensation and glamourous racing car
driver into the girls paths, falling in love with Jace and Greg
seems beyond their control. Cupid has struck. Life is made up of
laughter, love and tears. What is next for the folk of Mulberry
Lane - can they find the happiness they all so crave? Another
passionate tearjerker from Rosie Clarke in the Mulberry Lane
series.
Let bestselling author Lindsey Hutchinson take you back in time to
the Victorian Black Country, for a tale of love, hardship and
fighting against the odds to succeed.Life is tough for Ella
Bancroft. After her father, Thomas, is wheelchair-bound by an
accident at the tube works, the responsibility for keeping a roof
over their head falls to Ella. Ella's mother died when she was ten,
and her sister Sally lives with her no-good, work-shy husband Eddy,
so is no help at all. If she and her father are to keep the
bailiffs from the door, then Ella must earn a living. But Ella is
resourceful as well as creative, and soon discovers she has a gift
for millinery. Setting up shop in the front room of their two-up,
two-down home in Silver Street, Walsall, Ella and Thomas work hard
to establish a thriving business. Before long, the fashionable
ladies of the Black Country are lining up to wear one of Ella's
beautiful creations, and finally Ella dares to hope for a life with
love, friendship and family. Meeting the man she longs to marry
should be a turning point for Ella, but life's twists and turns can
be cruel. As the winter grows colder, events seem to conspire to
test Ella's spirit. And by the time spring is approaching, will the
hat girl of Silver Street triumph, or will Ella have to admit
defeat as all her dreams are tested. The Queen of the Black Country
sagas is back with a heart-breaking, unforgettable, page-turning
story of love, life and battling against the odds. Perfect for fans
of Val Wood and Lyn Andrews. Praise for Lindsey Hutchinson: 'A
great story with a great mix of characters, well written and keeps
you hooked with each page turn!' Sarah Davies, NetGalley 'A

novel to put down!' Grace Smith, NetGalley. 'Make sure to read this

feel-good-factor novel' Shelia Easson, NetGalley 'Excellent story!'

long after you finish it' The Avid Reader
