The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki (Penguin Classics)

Reputed to be one of the masterworks of the Middle Ages, The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki recalls the feuds and battles that plagued Denmark under then-ruler King Hrolf. Filled with extraordinary events, fierce battles, and tragic consequences for both the inhabitants and their conquerors, The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki is deeply embedded in the historical tradition of Migration-Period Scandinavia.
