Two Icelandic Stories - Hreidars Thattr. Orms Thattr (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)

Comprises two remarkable Icelandic tales. The first, Hreidars Thattr, is in an ancient narrative form. It is one of the oldest Icelandic short stories preserved and its archaic style adds greatly to its interest. The story also gives an insight into medieval humour, very different from that of today. The second tale, Orms Thattr, differs greatly in age and type. It is a late composition and reveals a taste that grew in Iceland in the late Middle Ages, a taste for stories of adventure, magic and feats of strength. For this new edition the text has been entirely reset and numerous additions and corrections made, as well the binding being restored to something like that of the original edition.
