Synopsis

A hero forged in fire. A dragon slain. A curse unleashed.In The Story of Sigurd, master storyteller Andrew Lang retells one of the most powerful and haunting legends of Norse mythology. From the blood-soaked battlefields of fallen kings to the treasure hoards guarded by monstrous dragons, Sigurd’s journey is one of valor, betrayal, enchanted love, and tragic fate.Guided by the wisdom of birds and wielding the reforged blade of his father, Sigurd slays the fearsome dragon Fafnir and becomes a legendary Dragonslayer. But the cursed gold he wins carries a terrible destiny—a fate entwined with the warrior maiden Brynhild, the treacherous magic of forgetfulness, and the cruel games of love and vengeance.This dramatized retelling brims with fire and sorrow, capturing the sweeping grandeur of an ancient tale that echoes through the ages. Beautifully narrated by Phil Thompson, The Story of Sigurd is a timeless saga of courage, destiny, and the cost of forgotten promises.
