It tells of the exploits of King Hrolf and of his famous champions, including Bodvar Bjarki, the 'bear-warrior': a powerful figure whose might and bear-like nature are inspired by the same legendary heritage as Beowulf. Depicting a world of wizards, sorceresses and 'berserker' fighters - originally members of a cult of Odin - this is a compelling tale of ancient magic. A work of timeless power and beauty, it offers both a treasury of Icelandic prose and a masterful gathering of epic, cultic memory, traditional folk tale and myths from the Viking age and far earlier.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lit-Middle-Ages","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":47747797844192,"sku":"Books:9780140435931n","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/5911\/6768\/files\/kraki.jpg?v=1757630388","url":"https:\/\/theswordandshovel.com\/products\/saga-of-king-hrolf-kraki-penguin-paperback","provider":"Sword \u0026 Shovel (403)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
