Illustrated with Sabine Baring-Gould`s own drawings, Iceland: Its Scenes & Sagas, is an entertaining & eccentric insight into a world of myth & legend as well as a classic of natural & human observation. This is Sabine Baring-Gould`s account of his journey on horseback around Iceland in 1862; aged twenty-eight, the young writer & teacher was fascinated by the tradition of the Icelandic sagas, & this was the catalyst for his adventure & the book that emerged from it. His voyage took him from the then tiny settlement of Reykjavik through remote & hostile terrain, passing through the empty expanse of Iceland`s countryside. He observed mountains & glaciers, volcanoes & geysers, wondering at the wild beauty of the landscape. He also recorded the rich flora & fauna that he saw-&, to his chagrin, that his companions shot. But Baring-Gould`s account is more than a travelogue. Throughout he recreates & interprets Icelandic sagas, bringing to life the extraordinary characters & events of these age-old stories. Evoking a world of trolls, witches & magic, he explores the mythology & language of Icelandic lore. He also turns a critical eye on his fellow travellers & the Icelanders he meets, passing judgment on food such as stuffed puffin, pungent fish & ptarmigan. By turns amusing & acerbic, Baring-Gould provides a colourful account of an Icelandic society that has long since disappeared. ...
