Here is the saga of Ragnar Lodbrok — the legendary Viking king whose name means 'Hairy Breeches' — retold in clear, inviting modern English. In these pages, Ragnar slays a monstrous serpent to win a bride, marries the mysterious Aslaug, and raises sons who will become legends in their own right: Ivar the Boneless, Bjorn Ironside, and Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye. His raids carry him across the seas to England, where he meets his end in a pit of serpents — and where his sons swear a vengeance that will shake a kingdom. Faithful to the spirit and meaning of the original Icelandic saga, this edition makes an ancient story feel immediate and alive, with a helpful introduction, glossary, and reading guide. Whether you come for the adventure, the myth, or the glimpse into the Viking world, this is the saga as it was meant to be read. Part of The World Scriptures Library.
