Icelandic Sagas: Laxdæla Saga

Class Description

This Icelandic saga starts with Unn, the Deep-minded, a Norwegian pioneer woman who sets out for Iceland. It continues through several generations to tell the story of Olaf the Peacock, the beautiful Guðrún Ósvífursdóttir, the Norwegian king Olaf Tryggvason, who converts Norway to Christianity, and many other colorful medieval characters of Iceland, Norway, Ireland, and Scotland. An absolute classic, second only to Njal's Saga.

This is true for online classes and in-person classes, non-profit and for-profit organizations, educational and recreational purposes. It includes the 2-person ballet class your 5 and 7-year old kids are taking, the cooking classes you and your partner sign up for at the local PCC, and the self-defense course your niece teaches online. Of course, it also includes online and in-person language classes offered by non-profits like SLI. Last quarter, because the new law was sprung right in the middle of our registration period and without much notice, SLI decided to pay the sales tax for the students, but we will regrettably not be able to continue this practice in 2026. The sales tax at this point is 6.5% + local tax (wherever in WA you live). This amount be added at checkout. :( sorry ):
