    Njála the short

    Kristín Ragna Gunnarsdóttir

    Highlights from the most popular saga of Icelanders!

    This illustrated book is based on one of the most beloved sagas of Icelanders, The Saga of the Burning of Njál, Njál’s Saga or Njála. The saga is believed to have been written around 1270-1290 although the events of the story took place 300 years earlier.

    Here the award-winning artist and author Kristín Ragna Gunnarsdóttir has depicted the broad outlines of Njála in a short text and pictures so that readers can become acquainted with some of the colourful characters and get a grasp of the main storyline. This is not the first time that Kristín Ragna has interpreted Njál’s Saga as she designed and illustrated The Njál’s Saga Tapestry; a 90-metre-long tapestry that was embroidered at Hvolsvöllur (njala.is).
