Crimsoning the Eagle's Claw

<p>A genuinely unique European treasure, this volume bristles with all 33 of <strong>Rognvaldr</strong>'s verses from the Orkneyinga Saga. While full of highly stylised, often grotesque images, the poems convey the skill, vigour and daring of the original.</p><p>Rich narratives and old Norse mythology blend with familiar place-names and landscapes to create a peculiarly alluring, sometime comic, world that never quite settles around the reader, as if time travel is possible from a favourite armchair.</p>
