Christopher Webster

The Story of Hervor (Nordic Heroes, #4) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Hervor, a young girl who is tired of needlework and wishes to reclaim her inheritance, changes her name to Hervar, dresses as a man, and joins a group of Viking raiders. The story is based on The Hervararsaga. Like many of the Icelandic Sagas, The Hervararsaga is rambling and muddled, though containing much fine material. This version is a straightforward retelling of the best episodes.

Autorenporträt

Christopher Webster was brought up in Conisbrough, which is famous for its well-preserved castle. The castle and its link with Hengest provided the inspiration for this book. Another inspiration was studying English at university, particularly the study of Anglo-Saxon. His first publication was Poetry Through Humour and Horror. This was followed by many more educational publications including the best selling 100 Literacy Hours and study notes on Christina Rossetti and Ezra Pound. His writing about Conisbrough includes The Castle Trilogy, Coal Dust Kisses, four books of short stories and and Conisbrough Tales, which he describes as 'a Canterbury Tales' for Conisbrough. He also writes in other genres, such as Poetry, Regency Romance and Science Fiction under a range of pen-names. He is currently living in Laken and teaching in a European School.
