The Story of Sigurd the Volsung and the Fall of the Niblungs by Wiliam Morris, Fiction, Legends, Myths, & Fables - General

Son of King Sigmund, young Sigurd is taught the ways of kings by the ancient, mysterious Regin -- who then sets him upon the seemingly impossible task: to steal the divine armor guarded by the Wallower on the Gold -- the great serpent Fafnir. Astride the war-steed Grayfell and armed with a sword named the Wrath of Sigurd, the young hero crosses the Glittering Heath in pursuit of peril, glory -- and the Treasure of Andvari.
