"The Story of the Ere-Dwellers" -- also known as the "Eyrbyggja Saga" -- was originally written in Icelandic (that is, in Old Norse) sometime around the middle of the 13th century. The original author is unknown, although some scholars have suggested a connection with the author of the "Laxdaela Saga." This translation by William Morris (yes, the well-known fantasist, architect, and political firebrand, the man really was a amazing polymath) was first published in 1892.
