    About this ebook

    This third book in a series on Icelandic-Canadian folk literature features some 274 verses and poems (originals and translations) that reflect Icelandic immigrant life on the Prairies. They express love, philosophy of life, censure, or simply delight in the joys of daily living and are a uniquely revealing source of information about the emotional and intellectual life of Icelandic immigrants in Canada.
