Saga Land

I enjoyed Saga Land by Richard Fidler & Kári Gíslason which documents some of the sagas of Iceland. Gíslason was born in Iceland and has a connection to the sagas which are the written stories of the history of Iceland.  Some of the sagas are quite grisly with "revenge" killings.  There is also a story about the major chess tournament there with Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky which was very interesting.  These stories are Icelandic national treasures.  Through the centuries some have been lost but enough have survived to tell the story of their country.  Gíslason's personal story was very interesting, so we understand his love for the country.  I did struggle with the Icelandic names and place names but enjoyed the stories. 4/5
