Abstract
THIS book is a successful attempt to popularise the romance and poetry of ancient Norse literature. Though he has not quite attained the dignity and charm of style which render Sir G. Dasent's “Story of Burnt Njal” and the “Popular Tales” from the collection of Asbjorsen classics in our folk-lore literature, this presentment by Mr. Thomas offers little ground for criticism.
Norse Tales.
Edward Thomas. Pp. 159. (Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1912.) Price 2s
