HEWLETT, MAURICE HENRY. Outlaw. *$1.75 (3½c) Dodd
20–4
This is the fifth of Maurice Hewlett’s saga tales retold. It is the story of Gisli and of Grayflanks, the sword on which a curse was laid when it was turned against its owner. Young Gisli is a craftsman and man of peace, who nevertheless is fated to be the slayer of men, to flee from Norway to Iceland, to become an outlaw, and to die fighting with his back against the wall, his wife, Aud, beside him.
