About the author

K.C. King's love affair with books began with Charlotte's Web when she was eight. A true Aquarian, she's a dreamer whose John Grisham obsession resulted in her choice to study linguistics and law. When she's not writing, travelling, or enjoying cappuccinos in kangaroo cups, you'll probably find her in her own world: Somewhere between Metropolis and Austen's 19th Century England.

[Neil · Rating 5 out of 5]

There are some interesting essays in this collection, including one on place names in the Nibelungenlied. The real gems are three papers on Das Lied Vom Hurnen Seyfred. I particularly like one comparing Siegfried's dragon fight in the Poetic Edda and the Hurnen Seyfred.
