Viking Tales...This is a mannerly little book narrating the tales of ii of the greatest Viking leaders in History. The journey starts in Norway with the birth of Harald Finehair, son of Halfdan the Blackness. Harald was the i who united the bottom kingdoms of Norway and formed a united, powerful nation. The rejection of his marriage proposal by princess Gyda unless he became a bully male monarch and the vow that he would non cut or comb his hair until he had defeated all his enemies are the most well-kno Viking Tales...This is a mannerly picayune book narrating the tales of two of the greatest Viking leaders in History. The journey starts in Kingdom of norway with the birth of Harald Finehair, son of Halfdan the Black. Harald was the i who united the bottom kingdoms of Norway and formed a united, powerful nation. The rejection of his marriage proposal by princess Gyda unless he became a great king and the vow that he would not cut or comb his pilus until he had defeated all his enemies are the most well-known parts of his legend. A fable that continued with his sons Eric Bloodaxe and Haakon the Good. And then, we leave Norway to travel to Iceland, a land of fire and ice discovered by Floki (yes, THAT Floki), and meet Leif Erikson, the first European to have discovered Vinland, the land of N America.

Jennie Hall treats the legends with respect, and the language comes very close to the ane used at the time, the language of the skálds narrating the sagas of heroes and far-away lands. Information technology is a prissy volume to join the collection of those who love to read about the Nordic cultures during the Night Ages and beyond. I read some reviews stating that information technology ''sugarcoated'''the Vikings and did not mention the brutality and the pillaging and so on...My answer is that they should read more advisedly next fourth dimension.This is a book for children, if you lot want violence, go spotter Television receiver instead...And information technology is a perfect introduction to the fascinating Viking world for the young ones.

(Kindle Ed., pp. 84-85)
In the showtime of that wintertime a piddling son was built-in to Gudrid and Thorfinn. "A wellness to the get-go Winelander!" the men shouted and drank down their wine; for they had fabricated some from Wineland grapes. "Volition he be the begetter of a bang-up state, as Ingolf was?" Biarni mused. Gudrid looked at her babe and smiled. "You will be as sunny as this good land, I hope," she said. They named him Snorri. He grew fast and shortly crept forth the xanthous sand, and toddled among the grapevines, and climbed into the boats and learned to talk. The men called him the "Wineland rex." "I never knew a babe earlier," one of the men said. "No," said another. "Swords are jealous. But when they are in their scabbards, we can practise other things, even play with babies." "I wonder whether I accept forgotten how to swing my sword in this tranquillity state," another man said.

It'southward soooo detailed like a real good storytelling, again, much better than the other Viking sagas in chronological formats.

Yet, information technology is still real history from the same records like other books.

(Kindle Ed., pp. 31-32)
"This is a proficient identify to lie. It looks far over the country. The sound of the body of water reaches it. The air current sweeps here. Information technology is a proficient grave for Norsemen and Vikings. Just information technology is a long road and a rough road to Valhalla that these men must travel. Permit the nearest kinsman of each man come and tie on his hell-shoes. Necktie them fast, for they volition demand them much on that difficult road." And then friends tied shoes on the dead men's feet. Then Male monarch Harald said: "Now let us make the mound." Every man set to work with what tools he had and heaped world over the expressionless until a great mound stood upwardly. They piled stones on the top. On one of these stones Male monarch Harald fabricated runes telling how these men had died. After that was done King Harald said: "Now set the pole, Thorstein. Let every man bring to that pole all that he took from the foe." So they did, and there was a great colina of things effectually information technology. Harald divided it into piles. "This pile we will requite to Thor in thanks for the victory," he said. "This pile is mine because I am king. Here are the piles for the chiefs, and these things go to the other men of the regular army." So every homo went away from that battle richer than he was before, and Thor looked down from Valhalla upon his full temple and was pleased.

This is one of the actual sources Dr. Seamus Heaney read for his frail translating work "Beowulf." The view is from the perspective of those who lived the era, so the value of the story is priceless.

(Kindle Ed., p. 81)
At last Yule was coming near. Eric went almost the house gloomy then. One day Thorfinn put his hand on Eric's shoulder and said: "Something is troubling you, Eric. We accept all noticed that you are not gay every bit yous used to be. Tell me what is the matter."

These lines are exactly the aforementioned with those found in other Viking Sagas translated in English language during the 19th century.

And lastly, y'all will close the book after meeting a slap-up determination with awesome endnotes and abundant references.

Information technology is definitely a five-star book, and I recommend this 1 to anybody who wants to

enjoy the Viking stories within official history. ...more

An extremely well written book. The short sentences yet face-to-face with the adjacent have simplicity and straightforwardness as its manner. Very refreshing indeed. A consummate antithesis to the mode of many English writers who pride themselves with long convoluted and entangled sentences meander incessantly until one easily loses the train of thought.

A Concise, Vigorous Children's Introduction to Vikings
(only heed to the LibriVox audiobook at your own peril)

Jennie Hall'due south Viking Tales (1902) is an interesting, compact children's volume that depicts a few famous Norse Vikings, their achievements, and the Viking ethos and civilization. Hall's short introduction "What the Sagas Were" vividly introduces Iceland, skalds, sagas, and the offset books recording the "stories of kings and battles and transport-sailing" that she has selected from among to retell in her book. The stories she covers in Role 1: In Norway recount Harald Shock Hair (AKA Harald Hair Fair) growing up and unifying Norway nether his rule; those in Part Two: W-Overseas relate Ingolf and Leif'south chafing nether that rule and founding a colony on Iceland, Eric the Red beingness outlawed and finding Greenland and founding a colony there, Leif Ericson'due south discovery of Wineland (Vineland), and Thorfinn's try to establish a colony in Wineland.

Later the tales come a chapter of Descriptive Notes, including interesting information on Norse names, houses, feast halls, foster fathers and brothers, and a affiliate of Suggestions for Teachers, including highlighting for young students how Vikings visited and or settled on a chain of islands going west to America and how they possessed three main values: courage through strange adventures, honey of truth and hard endurance, and faithfulness to spoken words. The last part of the volume is a list of source texts, nearly of which were published in the 19th century, like The Volsunga Saga (1870) translated by Eirikir Magnusson and William Morris.

In her stories and notes, and then, Hall entertainingly captures the Viking love of exploring and fighting ("the frolic") and going a-Viking (when they tin can take other men's goods and make them thralls), and provides many details on Norwegian weddings, funerals, gods, sacrifices, Valhalla, sailing, etc. 1 of my favorites are the "hell-shoes" placed on the anxiety of men who dice in battle so they may comfortably and successfully tread the hard road to Valhalla.

Here is a representative passage taken from the start of a tale told by the thrall Olaf to his primary, Harald, when Harald was a young male child:

"Then we harried the coast of Norway. We ate at many men's tables uninvited. Many men nosotros institute overburdened with gold. So I said:
'My dragon's belly is never total,' and on lath went the golden.
"Oh! it is better to alive on the body of water and let other men heighten your crops and melt your meals. A house smells of smoke, a ship smells of frolic. From a business firm you see a sooty roof, from a send you lot see Valhalla."

Notice the cheerful condone for gimmicky ethics or morals, the pride and pleasure in taking what belongs to other people, the enjoyment in "frolic." (Olaf and then recounts without the slightest regret how, when he tossed his spear in the air to see which direction it would point to when it landed, letting the gods decide which way he should get adjacent, it pointed him right to the large fleet of Harald's father, King Halfdan, who captured him, nearly executed him, and made him a thrall.)

Detect also how well Hall captures the Viking phonation. Harald names his banner "State of war Lover" and goes to battle maxim, "I am eager for the frolic!" In his party celebrating existence made an exiled outlaw, Eric the Red says, "At that place is no friend like mead. It always cheers a man's heart." And when most half his men decide to join him in his impending adventures he shouts, "O you lot bloody birds of battle! . . . E'er hungry for new frolic! Our swords are sisters in blood, and nosotros are brothers in adventure."

The Norsemen are also liable to break into song at intense moments, equally when Eric's son Leif travels from Greenland to Kingdom of norway for the first time:

My optics can encounter her at last,
The mother of mighty men,
The field of famous fights.
In the sky to a higher place I see
Fair Asgard's shining roofs,
The flight hair of Thor,
The wings of Odin's birds,
The route that heroes tread.
I am here in the land of the gods,
The state of mighty men."

It's a man-centered globe: "But none may become to Valhalla except warriors that accept died bravely in battle. Men who die from sickness go with women and children and cowards to Niflheim. There Hela, who is queen, always sneers at them, and a terrible common cold takes hold of their bones, and they sit down and freeze." That said, there is one promising female effigy in the tales, Gyda, who is "fair and proud," a literate healer who sends the dime a dozen king Harald a "Saucy Message" saying she'll simply ally a human being able to unify all of Norway under one dominion.

This is a book for kids, Hall leaving out sexual practice (there is no mention of rapine, of class, and although babies practise appear a couple times, they come rather magically as if without natural human being agency). But equally the to a higher place excerpts reveal, she doesn't sugar glaze the violence or Viking ethos, expressing both their courageous thirst for gamble and their callous lack of regard for their victims. Kids and adults should like this book, but if you are an adult interested in Vikings, I'd really recommend The Long Ships (1941/45) by Frans G. Bengtsson.

Viking Tales is bachelor for free on LibriVox, but the eighteen chapters are read by 11 different people, more often than not American men and women and an Australian, with unlike levels of sound quality and voice/manner appeal. Information technology is jarring to hear a new reader start almost every new chapter. The best reader (whom I wished had read the whole thing) is Lars Rolander, who reads with perfect step and clarity and a wonderfully appropriate Scandinavian accent. It was then painful listening to the worst reader, who luckily only reads the Descriptive Notes and Suggestions for Teachers later the stories, that when Rolander briefly returned to read the list of texts, his voice was manna for my ears and soul.

Learning is effortless when you bask information technology. That's what books like this are for.
