Skål! Cheers!

Skål!
Old toasts and drinking songs

If you are full, lie down
Get up early and fill yourself up again

This rhyme from a medieval song is one of many texts contained in this volume. Songs and sayings from the old north of the Vikings, from antiquity and the Middle Ages are brought together here for the first time in one book - barbaric, wild, coarse, but sometimes also a little melancholy and self-deprecating.
This book is both: a companion for the next wet and merry evening, but also a unique testimony to everyday life in earlier cultures. Impressive value for money for this completely new work!
