The legend of Sigurd and Gudrún
The legend of Sigurd and Gudrún | John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien
10 posts | 8 read | 25 to read
Tolkien's version of the great legend of Northern antiquity. In the first part, we follow the adventures of Sigurd, the slayer of Fafnir, and his betrothal to the Valkyrie Brynhild. In the second, the tragedy mounts to its end in the murder of Sigurd at the hands of his blood-brothers, the suicide of Brynhild, and the despair of Gudrún

This book is The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún by J.R.R. Tolkien 😄 I bought it last year from my local library for 50c 👌 It sounds interesting so I'll hopefully give it a read one day!

I came home to some wonderful #bookmail today! Thanks so much for adding to my Tolkien collection, Cydney!

#YearofTolkien friends, this one is now officially on my shelf to read at some point.

CBee Yay! I hope you enjoy it ♥ï¸ðŸ˜ 5y
JazzFeathers I have still to read any of these more academic of Tolkien's book. I really should at some point. 5y
Daisey @CBee @JazzFeathers This was one I really hadn‘t considered seriously until recently. I‘m much more interested after reading the History of the Hobbit and seeing this story considered such an inspiration and influence. 5y

The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún was the last book I purchased in 2017 and it only cost me 50c from the library. It sounds really interesting and I look forward to reading it this year ðŸ˜ðŸ“–

A special #signedsunday this week to showcase my lovely deluxe collector's edition of Sigurd and Gudrún, a story that inspired so much of Tolkien's legendarium. It might not be signed my the great man himself but this is the next best thing. This book is almost solely responsible for #NoBooksNovember. I'll have l gaze upon its beauty whenever I'm feeling weak ðŸ˜ðŸ˜¬

elkeOriginal GORGEOUS!!! 7y

There I was breathing a sigh of relief because there was nothing that particularly caught my eye on the Folio Society Christmas Collection. And then this landed...
Why, oh why can't they take pity on my poor bank balance? #foliofreaks #foliofriday

Kalalalatja I thought of you when I saw this 😂 7y
Moray_Reads @Kalalalatja I'm so predictable and SO WEAK! 7y

saresmoore I have nothing to say about this that wouldn‘t be considered enabling. 7y
Moray_Reads @saresmoore well, enabling assumes that I haven't already bought it (which I have 😳). It's definitely going to be #NoBooksNovember for me 7y
saresmoore 🙌 Oh, good! Please do share photos of it when it arrives so I can drool over them. 🤤 7y
Moray_Reads @saresmoore at this rate I may have to start charging a fee! 7y
saresmoore Hahaha! Now, there‘s an idea! 7y

Betrayals, Valkyries, the gods and bloody revenge - this book was everything I expected it to be and Tolkien's writing is as magical as ever. 5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
