About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Saga of Grettir the Strong by Unknown. (Translated by George Ainslie Hight.) Read in English by Alison Sawers. The Saga of Grettir the Strong is a thirteenth-century Icelandic saga about Grettir, the longest-enduring outlaw in medieval Iceland. Its monster fights and sorcery have inspired many people with a love of Icelandic sagas, and its depiction of the undead has influenced later portrayals of Viking monsters.- Summary by Alison Sawers
