books in this volume cover a wide range of topics. The book gives a
detailed commentary on the folklore and life and customs of
twelfth-century Denmark. Saxo is credited with the earliest account
of Hamlet
Gesta Danorum - Deeds of the Danes In the early years of the
thirteenth century the Danish writer Saxo Grammaticus provided his
people with a History of the Danes, an account of their glorious
past from the legendary kings and heroes of Denmark to king Gorm.
It is one of the major sources for the heroic and mythological
traditions of northern Europe, though the complex Latin style and
the wide range of material brought together from different sources
have limited its use.

His discolored face and visage smutched with slime denoted foolish
and grotesque madness. All he said was of a piece with these
follies; all he did savored of utter lethargy. In a word, you would
not have thought him a man at all, but some absurd abortion due to
a mad fit of destiny.

Saxo Grammaticus, who's believed to have lived from 1150 until 1220
(though the dates are uncertain), wrote a sixteen-volume history of
the Denmark that he lived in. Volumes X through XVI (oddly -- or
perhaps not so oddly -- written first) are a conventional history
of Saxo's day and age. But the first the volumes are the stuff of
myth and legend, delightful tales of mythic Norse persons and
circumstances. This book is comprised of those mythic volumes, and
it's special stuff indeed.
