Lord Samper's Library

In the interests of full disclosure, I was offered the chance of reading 'Old Norse for Modern Times' in return for a fair and honest review. My reading has been headed down a Viking influenced path, just recently, so of course I said yes. I would have said yes in Norse but I hadn't read the book, at that point, so had to settle for saying it in plain old English (which does the job but Old Norse is much better, as you'll discover in a bit). So here goes, in a first for 'Lord Samper's Library', a review of a phrase book. Not just any old phrase book though... This is normally the paragraph where I copy and paste some blurb to give myself a little breathing space before the review itself. Not this time though, 'Old Norse for Modern Times' is pretty much exactly what it says it is; a collection of old Norse phrases that you would probably never have used back then but are just the trick for any number of situations today. So yeah, no big surprises ...
