Book synopsis

E. R. Eddison's classic saga novel now in paperback--includes for the first time Eddison's remarkable letter of introduction and his unabridged closing note "Styrbiorn the Strong" tells the grand tale of Styrbiorn Olafsson, heir to the Swedish throne and known both for his impressive size and strength and his unruly, quarrelsome nature. Denied his birthright and exiled from Sweden, Styrbiorn becomes the leader of the Jomsvikings and sets out to reclaim the Swedish throne in the epic Battle of Fyrisvellir. A rediscovered classic, "Styrbiorn the Strong" is a tale reminiscent of the Old Norse sagas, a historical novel from one of the twentieth century's most influential masters of fantasy.
