It is the intention of the authors to provide a new and scholarly translation, freely accessible to academics, students and enthusiasts alike, in order to help the saga gain a wider audience and some long-overdue attention. This translation represents part of a recent wave of English translations of indigenous riddarasögur (‘sagas of knights’).
The introduction investigates motifs including the werewolf episode, Áli's dream, and Áli's fleck. It also discusses manuscripts and transmission.
