About this book
The American traveler and humorist J. Ross Browne recounts his wanderings through the lands of the far north—Iceland, Norway, and beyond—mixing vivid description, adventure, and dry wit as he encounters strange landscapes, hardy peoples, and the folklore of the Viking world. Part travelogue, part comic memoir, the book captures the nineteenth-century excitement of exploring remote regions. Browne's humor and sharp eye make him an entertaining guide to a little-known corner of the world. For armchair travelers and lovers of witty travel writing, The Land of Thor is a spirited and enjoyable journey through the myth-haunted lands of the north.
