The Icelander's Sword or The Story of Oraefa-Dal (1894) is a historical novel written by S. Baring-Gould. The story is set in Iceland during the 10th century and follows the life of a young man named Skarphedinn, who is the son of a wealthy farmer. Skarphedinn is sent to Norway to learn the art of sword-making from a famous blacksmith, and upon his return to Iceland, he becomes embroiled in a feud with a rival clan. The novel explores themes of honor, loyalty, and revenge, as Skarphedinn and his comrades fight to defend their land and way of life. Along the way, the reader is treated to vivid descriptions of Icelandic landscapes, customs, and mythology. The Icelander's Sword is a compelling and historically accurate portrayal of a fascinating period in Icelandic history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
