| Publisher Description: After saving up and buying land to farm, Hen-Thorir was not a favorite among his new neighbor's. The communication between them reaches its peak when Hen-Thorir refuses to sell them hay for the winter. When his neighbors take the hay anyway, he burns them alive in their farmstead. A vendetta ensues in which Hen-Thorir is killed and beheaded.This saga highlights aspects of Norse culture, such as hospitality to guests and travellers, generosity to ones neighbors, and the need to gather support of others in order to obtain justice. |
