The Landnama Book of Iceland, written by Thomas Ellwood in 1894, is a comprehensive guide to the dialect, place names, folklore, and antiquities of Cumberland, Westmorland, and North Lancashire. The book is based on the Icelandic Landn�����mab������k, which details the settlement of Iceland by Norsemen in the 9th and 10th centuries. Ellwood uses this text to draw parallels between the Icelandic and English regions, highlighting similarities in the language, culture, and history. The book is divided into chapters dedicated to each region, with detailed descriptions of the landscape, local customs, and notable landmarks. The Landnama Book of Iceland is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history and folklore of these English counties, and provides a fascinating insight into the connections between Iceland and the British Isles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
