Tales of Sigurd, known in German tradition as Siegfried, unfold through dragon-slaying, heroic deeds, broken promises and revenge. Drawing on the Volsung and Eddic traditions and the Nibelungenlied, the collection reveals the different forms these stories took before Richard Wagner reshaped their material for his Ring cycle. Gods, warriors and rival families inhabit a legendary world in which the pursuit of wealth and honour can carry a terrible cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn good overall condition.
