Iceland is a country where stories are as important as history. When Vikings
settled the island, they brought their tales with them. Every rock, hot spring
and waterfall seems to have its own story. Cruel man-eating trolls rub shoulders
with beautiful elves, whose homes are hidden from mortal view. Vengeful ghosts
envy the living, seeking to drag lost loves into their graves - or they may
simply demand a pinch of your snuff. Some of the stories in this collection are
classic Icelandic tales, while others are completely new to English translation.
Hjörleifur has always been deeply interested in the rich lore of his island. His
grandparents provided a second home in his upbringing and taught him much about
the past through their own way of life. Hjörleifur is dedicated to breathing
fresh life into the stories he loves.
