| Description | Iceland is an island in the North Atlantic Ocean, west of Norway, east of Greenland and north of the British Isles. It was the last country of Europe to be settled and its history is therefore not as long and old as the history of all the neigbouring countries. But Icelanders have always loved books and writing and reading is a great part of our culture. We have many old books or Sagas and two of them tell us the stories about the first settlers. One is called the 'Book of Icelanders' (Islendingabok) and tells us about Icelands history for the first 250 years. It was written by Ari Thorhilsson The Wise in the tenth century. The other is called 'Book of Settlement' (Landnamabok) and tells us of those who found Iceland and where they settled. |
