The Legend of Ivar Gunnarsson (Paperback)

There is no known, written record of Ivar Gunnarsson anywhere in the British Isles, not even on the Isle of Man, nor anywhere else. There is, however, a very rich tradition of centuries, where the name Ivar Gunnarsson, of St. Patrick's Isle, Mann, passed by word of mouth from generation to generation. And there is no known record of Vilnar Ivarsson either. No one knows exactly, when Vilnar Ivarsson, son of Ivar Gunnarsson and Solveig Hakonarsdottir, was born, but oral tradition tells us it was on the night of the fiercest storm the Isle of Man has ever seen, a storm which became known as the Storm of Legend. It arose out of the Irish Sea on that night and many times over the succeeding centuries. This is our tale.
