Hoffman's \u003cem\u003eThe Book of the Sagas\u003c\/em\u003e retells for younger readers a selection of the great legends and heroic stories of the medieval Scandinavian world, drawing upon the rich traditions of Norse saga, myth and history. Tales of Viking warriors, kings, voyages, feuds and adventure are presented in an accessible narrative form and enhanced by Gordon Browne's extensive illustrations, including six particularly attractive colour plates. Published by Ernest Nister, the volume is a handsome example of the illustrated gift books produced for the Edwardian juvenile market, and introduces readers to the same Old Norse-Icelandic literary tradition that would become an important scholarly and imaginative influence upon J. R. R. Tolkien and other twentieth-century writers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Book of The Sagas. By Alice S. Hoffman.
