Title: Inaccurate. Better is available for free here
Review: Fairly well written, but I didn't even have to read all the way through to find this to be inaccurate. If you want something factual, there are many other accounts of actual historical events and many legitimate sagas. This also goes for mythology. This is NOT the only book - and by far not the best - that talks about Norse history/mythology.Anyone interested can find free Kindle editions of "Children Of Odin" and the Volsunga Saga. I am yet to find anything free on Harald Fair-Hair unfortunately, for this is one of my favorite sagas that should be included in the Heimskringla.If you care to do some translating yourself, the Fagrskinna and Flateyjarbok (I am too lazy to find the accent marks in the actual titles). Look some of these up. They're all in a very simple style and very easy to understand.Happy reading!
