In the midst of the Atlantic Ocean, far enough away from mainland Europe to be free from consistent outside influence early on in its history, rests Iceland. By 900 the small island country is flourishing with poetry; by 1120 its prose writing has surpassed the quantity of British literature. Icelandic Sagas preserves the oral history of this fascinating country.
