H.A. Guerber war eine britische Historikerin, die für ihre fesselnden Nacherzählungen der germanischen Mythologie bekannt ist. Sie tauchte tief in die Eddas und Sagas ein und erweckte alte Erzählungen mit einem ausgeprägten literarischen Gespür zum Leben. Ihre Werke zeichnen sich durch einen zugänglichen und doch eindringlichen Stil aus, der Mythen und Legenden für heutige Leser spürbar macht. Guerbers Ansatz belebt die Geschichtsschreibung mit erzählerischem Reichtum neu.
