It tells of the exploits of King Hrolf and of his famous champions, including Bodvar Bjarki, the 'bear-warrior': a powerful figure whose might and bear-like nature are inspired by the same legendary heritage as Beowulf. Depicting a world of wizards, sorceresses and 'berserker' fighters - originally members of a cult of Odin - this is a compelling tale of ancient magic. A work of timeless power and beauty, it offers both a treasury of Icelandic prose and a masterful gathering of epic, cultic memory, traditional folk tale and myths from the Viking age and far earlier.

Review: Another Great Saga! - I've yet to read a Saga I didn't enjoy and this is one of the better ones. Great for its entertainment value but not a whole lot as far as clues as to what the religious practices of Heathen Scandinavians were. There are lots of obvious similarities between Hrolf Krakis Saga and Beowulf but the story also goes in a lot of other directions that are not in Beowulf. Byocks introduction and notes are a great added bonus to this. I also like that where I live now is in close proximity to where all of this occured. The remains of what they believe may be the Hall of Hrolf Kraki is about a 45 minute train ride from here. Review: A very accessible and exciting saga. - You can't go wrong with ths saga. It has everything you might want in a story produced in the time period. It is a favorite of readers and academics alike. If you think the previous sagas you have read were boring, this one will be something a little more exciting. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #425,155 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #46 in Norse & Icelandic Sagas (Books) #4,128 in Family Saga Fiction #8,664 in Classic Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 231 Reviews | ## Images ![The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki (Penguin Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81C3JNz40GL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Great Saga! *by C***N on September 4, 2011* I've yet to read a Saga I didn't enjoy and this is one of the better ones.

In other words, it is about ancient kings and viking-style adventures, not Icelandic farmers and their lawsuits and domestic disputes. But I'm writing this review to point out that the conversion to Kindle format garbled portions of the introduction: Something I discovered after ordering it to replace a missing paperback copy. The extended captions to some of the illustrations were originally in a different type, and therefore easily distinguished from the main text. This is not the case in the Kindle version: only one face and size is used. So the reader often has to skip forward a couple of pages to find the conclusion of a sentence in the introduction proper. This is a minor annoyance once the problem is recognized, but until it is the impression is given of an incoherent text, with sudden changes of subject, and sentences without beginnings or ends. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10109897-the-saga-of-king-hrolf-kraki-penguin-classics](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10109897-the-saga-of-king-hrolf-kraki-penguin-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
