Born in southern Sweden, not far from where Camilla's and my debut novel Birds of Ásgarðr begins, I developed an early fascination with history. My article “The Curmsun Disc: Harald Bluetooth’s Golden Bull?” deepened that interest and led me into the world of Norse mythology, including the extensive research of Viktor Rydberg.

Our Fathers' Godsaga: Retold for the Young

During the 1880s, Viktor Rydberg wrote his two major volumes Investigations into Germanic Mythology. The work took nearly a decade to complete, but alongside the second volume he also wrote Our Fathers' Godsaga: Retold for the Young—a cohesive, literary interpretation of the Norse mythological world.

In the summer of 2019, I borrowed the book, and it became my first encounter with the Viking myths Read more of this blog post »

E.P.W. Tell liked Jan Koller's review of The Old Norse Saga - Part one: Birds of Ásgarðr: " I really enjoyed “The Old Norse Saga” and that I’m already looking forward to read part 2. A small disadvantage is the old Norse alphabet which takes time to get used to."
