This is chapter 1 of Grettir's saga, written by Allen French. Grettir's saga is one of the most famous sagas told in Iceland, which supposedly took place between the ninth and the eleventh centuries in Iceland and Norway. Chapter one tells the story of Grettir's exiling from Iceland and his new life at Thorfinn's island in Norway. Grettir went on to his first heroic deed and went for the treasure in Karr the Old's burial mound, where great danger already awaits him.
