The Story Of The Heath Slayings Heitharviga Saga is a book written by William Morris, which is a translation of an Icelandic saga. The book is a historical fiction that tells the story of a feud between two families, the Heitharvigs and the Vatnsdalers, in medieval Iceland. The feud began when a man named Thorbjorn was killed by the Heitharvigs, and his brother, Thorgeir, sought revenge. The story follows the events that unfold as the two families engage in a series of battles, betrayals, and alliances, ultimately leading to the death of many of the main characters. The book is a classic example of Icelandic sagas, which are known for their vivid descriptions of battles, honor, and revenge. Morris's translation is faithful to the original text and captures the essence of the story's themes and characters. The Story Of The Heath Slayings Heitharviga Saga is a must-read for anyone interested in medieval literature, Icelandic sagas, or historical fiction.That summer there was with Bardi in his Thing-journey one Thord, the goodman at Broadford in Waterdale; he had two horses, all white except for black ears. These horses he deemed beasts so dear, that he would not miss them for any other horses. But it befell for Thord's faring-mishap that both these horses vanished away.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
