articles so their publications have indeed
documented the key Viking Millennium
events for posterity.
The first English language editions of
the classic Icelandic Sagas have been pub-
lished at a most appropriate time, the Leif
Eiriksson Millennium. They now make this
long overlooked period of world history,
the Viking Age, much clearer to all. Now
available at the Millennium Special price of
$299 U.S. Details are available at the new
website: www.sagas.is. For air shipment,
add $51 or for surface shipment, $39 US
dollars.
The handsome, hardcover First Edition
is available from the publisher, Leifer
Eiriksson Publishing Ltd. Flokagotu 65,
IS-105 Reykajvik, Iceland. The company
phone is (354) 562-7950, the FAX is (354)
562-7970 and email is vinland@centrum.is.
Although just a small company in a
small country of 250,000 people, the Sagas
is an impressive, gigantic literary leap to
spread Viking knowledge throughout the
English speaking world in this new millen-
nium. They deserve heartfelt thanks from
all of Viking heritage for this far-sighted
and noteworthy publication landmark.
In my opinion, as a Norse-American
writer, a nationally-syndicated newspaper
columnist for 25+ years, the author of 50
published books and national magazine
feature writer, The Complete Sagas of
Icelanders are a timely, welcome, worth-
while addition to every home of families
with Nordic roots and Norse heritage.
In this new millennium when diversity
is making news, it is even more important
that all of us of Nordic background learn
more about our own history, heritage and
traditions. Vikings made a remarkable and
important contribution to civilization
through the centuries.
The Sagas of the Icelanders capture that
vital era, eons ago, and bring it vividly to
life today. It is a celebration of an age of
history that now can be shared around the
English-speaking world. We can celebrate
this publishing landmark as it salutes our
shared Norse heritage.
Editors note: The 5 volume sets are also
sold by local Icelandic National League
Chapters.
