The Thrall of Leif the Lucky

A young English thrall in Greenland, Leif Ericson's household, and the voyage west to Vinland five hundred years before Columbus. Liljencrantz was a Chicago writer of Swedish descent who spent her short career on the sagas; she worked from the Norse texts rather than from the Victorian idea of vikings, and the Greenland politics — Christian against heathen in Eric's own hall — are taken from the record.
