That is a good story. I wonder how the rest of Hjalti's new life went.
Read the saga. It's reasonably short.
It's also the source for Beorn, father of Grimbeorn the Old, from the Hobbit.
Sounds like a good read.
Poul Anderson's treatment of this saga is a good one, if the somewhat dry usual translations don't do it for you. I found it 40 years ago and chose that name to use in reeacting. Cheers.
