Produktbeschreibung
High adventure among the Norsemen in a special two volume set Historical adventure fiction is so popular today that only readers of a certain vintage can remember the time (not so long past) that it had all but disappeared from the catalogues of publishers. Tales of Romans, knights, warriors and soldiers of every nation and period now abound, but the current trend is but a return to a literary genre that has been always had its enthusiasts and indeed its specialist authors. The author of this two volume collection of Viking adventures, Ottilie Liljencrantz, was an American but-as her name suggests-of Scandinavian origins, who had an authentic feel for her subject by both sensibility and an intimate knowledge of the period in which her stories are set. While that vision might not always square with that of contemporary authors on the Viking age, in her time Liljencrantz's books were very keenly anticipated. Indeed, one of them was filmed during the 1930s. These fabulous tales of the Norsemen at the time when they braved the wide Atlantic to discover a new continent have been collected into two substantial Leonaur volumes for readers to own and enjoy. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Autorenporträt
Ottilie Adelina Liljencrantz was an American author best known for her historical novels centered around Norse mythology and Viking-era tales. Born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1876, Liljencrantz wrote stories that captured the adventurous and rugged spirit of the Vikings. Her writing career, though short, left an enduring impact on the genre of Norse-themed literature. Liljencrantz's most famous work is The Thrall of Leif the Lucky, published in 1902, which tells the gripping tale of a young Englishman captured by Vikings and his journey of survival, honor, and identity in a world ruled by warrior codes. This novel was part of a larger body of work that blended historical fiction with elements of Viking lore. Despite her untimely death at the age of 34 in 1910, Liljencrantz's stories continue to be celebrated for their vivid portrayal of Viking culture, their emphasis on personal valor, and their exploration of loyalty and freedom within the Viking world. Her Viking Adventures series remains a significant contribution to historical fiction centered around Norse culture.
