About this ebook
"The Songs of Ranild" by George Borrow is a collection of songs that pay tribute to Nordic traditions. The songs have no titles, as they were passed down from person to person over the years before they were ever written down. The text isn't just a piece of history, however. The songs are beautiful, even when read like poetry and have caused countless readers to fall in love with the magical northern countries.
