I read two of the sagas in this book from the Vinland Sagas, Saga of the Greenlanders and Eirik the Red's Saga. Both were excellent. I read these before venturing to Iceland and after. They made a lot more sense after we visited because our trip and Icelandic tourism mainly covers The Settlement, when the early Vikings escaped or were forced away from Norway.
Excellent resource for learning the beginnings of Iceland and subsequent exploration of Greenland and Atlantic Canada by Leif the Lucky (as Leif Ericson is known in his homeland).
