The House of the Wolfings - Classic Historical Fiction Novel | Epic Viking Saga & Adventure Story | Perfect for Book Clubs and Fantasy Readers

Morris penned quite a tale here. This was written in the 1800’s and it’s easy to see why Tolkien enjoyed the verse/ saga style writing presented here. It can be difficult to go from prose to verse so often, but it was beautifully written. The basis is “Welsh” meaning foreigners in Germanic Goth were invading their land. Romans were trying to expand North into forested Germanic lands. The Goths were in their sights. This is a story not only of battle, sacrifice, and romance, but a nice sprinkling of demigod women, dwarven magic, and the like. The verse portions create a bard like saga. Good read for me, but a lot of people might find it jumbled and archaic.
