MP3 Audio CD. Eric Thorgrimursson tagged as 'Brighteyes' for his greatly distinguished feature, tries to win the love of his dearest, Gudruda the Fair. Her father Asmund, a clergy of the ancient Norse deities, does not consent with the lovers, doubting Eric as a man without visions. But easily fatal are the conspiracies of Swanhild, Gudruda's half-sister and a witch who longs for Eric for herself. She convinces the head of clan Ospakar Blacktooth to court Gudrida, making the two men fight. War, schemes, and betrayal comes next. Sir Henry Rider Haggard, KBE, also referred to as H.
