The Wisdom of the Vikings: Interpreted, Illustrated, and Analysed in what will be a stunning, art-filled book. We've been working towards this book for over two years now, with 646 hours being dedicated by my illustrator to illustrate the 164 Stanza of this beautiful Viking-age poem.
THE CONTENT IN THE BOOK
- 164 x Double page spreads, each with the artwork for that stanza, my English interpretation, and an analysis for the modern world
- 12 x Double-page spreads with some epic, full-colour artworks.
- Stanza 1-164 in both Old Norse & Younger Futhark runes. The rune translations won't be 100% accurate to the way that they would have been spoken during the Viking age, but they will be based on a series of rules and consistency.
- My translation methodology and a disclaimer
- A glossary with any relevant names or Mythological figures
- Some free art & Bindrunes related to Odin & Hávamál

RELEASE DATE - TO BE ANNOUNCED
The release date is not something I can guarantee yet as I'm an individual with a large budget to build and the entire thing to write and format. However, it will 100% be released in 2024. TOWARDS THE END OF THE SUMMER IS MY GOAL.
By pre-ordering this, you're contributing to the printing costs, and I could not thank you enough. I've made the conscious decision to not discount this pre-order. I believe that the content and quality more than justify the price.
