A translation of the ancient Norse legend of Sigurd, the Dragon Slayer.
#####
This was a fairly simple retelling of this Norse epic. The translation was easy to read. I did find some of the narrative rather annoying (often the text TOLD what would happen next and then skipped to the next part of the saga).
I was not familiar with the legends, though the similarities to such as the King Arthur stories and Wagner's Ring stories, are obvious to see.
Worth reading.
