The Dream Song of Olaf Asteson is a folksong which only came to light in 1850

when a clergyman called Landstad heard it in a lonely valley in Telemark,

Norway. No one knows how long it had existed,

but it's an epic narrative telling the story of a young man who

slept for twelve nights in the depths of winter, and then awoke to share

the wondrous sights he had seen.
This edition is illustrated with Janet Jordan's striking paintings which give life

to Olaf and help the modern reader engage with the ancient saga.
