A fascinating insight into the origins of Orkney. The facts have been well researched, and as far accurate as it can be. I highly recommend the book to anyone wishing to research the islands connection with Norway.

The sagas are a wonderous window into Norse culture, its characters and the geopolitical role that Orkney had in the development of our modern societies. The good, the bad and the ugly are all present in the world where Viking was a autumn pursuit after harvesting was over and the alternative was waiting for the long hard winter. A fantastic learning experience for the uninitiated. From Russia, Norway and the Hebrides all the way to Constantinople and back, this series of stories brings early medieval Europe to life in enthralling tales of daring.
