I posted something similar in the Romance forum, because I'm not sure what this would be classified as...romance, or history, or even fantasy, but I love the stories of Siegfried and Brunhild and the elements of those legends. Anyone ever come across any novels with or close to these storylines? Or Norse/Germanic legends or history in general? |

Try Greenlanders by Jane Smiley. This one is written using the same style as the sagas, it's very good. I think it's available. Sigrid Undset has 2 great series: Kristin Lavransdatter and Master of Hestviken. Undset won a Nobel prize. Eric Brighteyes by H. Rider Haggard King Harald's Saga by Snorri Sturlson The Thrall's Tale - Judith Lingbergh - I loved this one! The Sea Road - Margaret Elphinstone. I also love reading the Norse sagas, The Saga of Vinland, Njal's Saga, and many more. Last Edited on: 7/28/07 7:24 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

One more - Tim Severin has a three book series, Viking: King's Man, Viking: Odinn's Child, and Sworn Brother. I haven't read these yet, but I will. |
