Customer Reviews
The most renowned Norse scholar
Whilst this book can be a little "dry" for many, it has to be said that any studying the Runes or the Norse Tradition owe it to themselves to give this book a go. Snorri Sturluson is easily the most widely recognised authority on the Eddas, and many other scholars refer back to this work frequently.
