Book of the Week: The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun

A day late, but what are you going to do? – backhoe, remember?

Anyway, we say good-bye to A Song for Arbonne and hello to The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun, which may not have been the best choice for light weekend reading. On the other hand, as Anglo-Saxon goes it’s prime stuff.

Book of the Week: A Song for Arbonne.

It being Sunday, we replace Terry Pratchett’s Unseen Academicals with Guy Gavriel Kay’s A Song for Arbonne – a older book, but a fine one, and an excellent introduction to Kay’s work.  Given that he’s finally given out information about his next book (Under Heaven, drawing from Tang Dynasty China, due in Spring of 2010), this gives some of you plenty of time to get up to speed on the author, and why you’ll want this one in hardback.
