    Horses

    The Icelandic horse has endured much during its millennium of service to a hard people in a cold land. Blazing trails through lava fields, shuttling between far-flung fjords, starved, drowned and even brought back from the dead. Here we see Iceland’s hardiest helper from every angle, the same beast who first set hoof on Iceland’s shores in the 9th century, through stories free from all the hype and schmaltz of the tourist brochures.

    With their first book, Birds, Hjörleifur Hjartarson and Rán Flygenring dazzled us with Iceland’s fascinating feathered friends. Now they’re back in the saddle with their unique take on Iceland’s iconic equine.

  • Elves

    Elves

    Neighbor inexplicably come into money? Baby suddenly an un holyterror? Home a wreck after Christmas? Appliances constantly breaking down? Birthmarks shaped like magical runes in the family? Got a friend no one else can see?

    Icelandic elves are a rare breed among elfkind for the mysteriously profound bond they share with real-world Icelanders. Here we see the Icelandic elf in a new light as well as the fraught relations between the hidden nation and humans since Iceland’s settlement, including underworld deals, blood-soaked holiday parties, radical eco-activism, forbidden love in the beyond and the wildly heroic exploits of shepherds and milkmaids.

    Time and again Hjörleifur Hjartarson and Rán Flygenring have joined forces to examine the wonders of Icelandic nature and culture. They gave us high-flying antics with Birds and got back in the saddle for Horses. Now they peek behind the curtain into the hidden world of Elves.

  • Birds

    Birds

    Warning!

    This is not what you’d call a great field guide for identifying birds. Its illustrations are badly drawn, and its text is full of biases and affectations. You should keep that in mind while reading. But if you’re interested in provocative stories about Icelandic birds’ inclination for endangerment, penchant for pageantry, and addiction to amatory adventures – not to mention all their quirks of character and personal peccadillos – well then: this is the book for you.

    Fun-loving Hjörleifur Hjartarson and Rán Flygenring give readers a bird’s–eye view of the most prominent characteristics of every Icelandic bird in word and image, and, thankfully, never take themselves too seriously in the process. The result is a unique, unusual, but nevertheless informative encyclopedia of Icelandic birds.

    Hjörleifur Hjartarson has a B.Ed. in education and has also worked as an author, translator, and musician alongside his job as a teacher. He’s written a variety of exhibition notes and explanatory texts for both museums and theatres. It was one such exhibition project that lead him into the world of Icelandic birds, which have fluttered around him ever since.

    Rán Flygenring is an illustrator and designer. Her projects have been varied: she’s illustrated books and blogs, doodled on walls and stamps and created unique images for events ranging from beer festivals to science conferences. Rán calls no one place home and would, without a doubt, be classified as a migratory bird.
