Since the 2015 publication of The Poetic Edda: Stories of the Norse
Gods and Heroes, Old Norse specialist Dr. Jackson Crawford has
delighted readers with his English-language translations of Old
Norse sagas and poems that tell the tales of Odin, Thor, Loki,
dragon-slayer Sigurd, Brynhild the Valkyrie, Hrolf Kraki, and many
more. This limited-edition set collects three of Dr. Crawford's
Hackett Publishing books, The Poetic Edda (2015), The Saga of the
Volsungs (2017), and Two Sagas of Mythical Heroes (2021) in a
beautifully designed, hand-numbered, and hand-crafted slipcase box.
Each book in the set features smyth-sewn hardcover bindings with
new custom artwork for the front covers. The Poetic Edda features a
medallion of the wolf Fenrir, The Saga of the Volsungs a medallion
of the dragon/serpent Fafnir, and Two Sagas of Mythical Heroes a
medallion of a bear. Each volume in the set begins with a phrase
hand-written by Dr. Crawford that best exemplifies the text to
follow or Dr. Crawford's favorite passage from the book. The quotes
in The Poetic Edda and Two Sagas of Mythical Heroes also contain
the runic "originals." The Poetic Edda also includes a bookplate
personally signed by Dr. Crawford and hand-tipped into the front of
the book.
