The Saga of King Heidrek the Wise. Saga Heiðreks konungs ins vitra

A fiftieth anniversary reissue of Christopher Tolkien’s masterly translation of the Icelandic Heidrek’s Saga, including the dramatic Battle of the Goths and the Huns, the lyrical Waking of Angantyr, and the unique riddle-contest between King Heidrek and the god Odin.

Translated from the Icelandic with Introduction, Notes and Appendices by Christopher Tolkien.
"The Saga of King Heidrek the Wise" is a legendary saga from the 13th century combining matter from several older sagas. It is a valuable saga for several different reasons beside its literary qualities. It contains traditions of wars between Goths and Huns, and the last part is used as a source for Swedish medieval history.
