THE SONG OF THE VIKINGS
BROWN, NANCY MARIE
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Snorri Sturluson, the thirteenth-century Icelandic chieftain who gave us Odin, Loki, and Thor, was as unruly as
the Norse Gods he createdMuch like Greek and Roman mythology, Norse myths are still with us. Famous
storytellers from JRR Tolkien to Neil Gaiman have drawn their inspiration from the long-haired, mead-drinking,
marauding and pillaging Vikings. Their creator is a thirteenth-century Icelandic chieftain by the name of Snorri
Sturluson. Like Homer, Snorri was a bard, writing down and embellishing the folklore and pagan legends of
medieval Scandinavia. Unlike Homer, Snorri was a man of the world—a wily political power player, one of the
richest men in Iceland who came close to ruling it, and even closer to betraying it… In Song of the Vikings,
award-winning author Nancy Marie Brown brings Snorri Sturluson’s story to life in a richly textured narrative that
draws on newly available sources.

THE SOUL OF IT ALL
BOLTON, MICHAEL
After four decades in the music industry, Michael Bolton has cemented himself as on one the most successful
musicians of our time. THE SOUL OF IT ALL is his backstage pass into his life lived thus far-into the venues,
busses, limos, and hotel rooms of stardom, and finally into his home and heart. His story will go long and dive
deep, not only into his self-proclaimed "vagabond vampire" life, but also into the belly of the beast that is the
music industry, with its joys, follies, and torments.
