About this book
Four Old Norse sagas and a group of related ballads appear in English here, translated by N. Kershaw, later known as Nora Chadwick. The sagas come from the Fornaldarsögur, stories of ancient times in the North set before Harald Fairhair and the settling of Iceland: the tháttr of Nornagest, the tháttr of Sörli, the saga of Hromund Greipsson and the saga of Hervör and Heithrek. Part II turns to Faroese, Danish and Shetland ballads on the same stories, with Faroese melodies printed. Introductions and notes accompany them, and the volume was published at Cambridge in 1921.
