A story of Leif Erikson, inspired by legends and lore. Color plates by Troy Kinney and Margaret West Kinney, who illustrated three of Liljencrantz's books. This novel, The Thrall of Leif the Lucky, was adapted for a silent film, "The Viking" (1928). Liljencrantz died before her 35th birthday. Little Theater maven, Anna Morgan, thought her "an attractive young woman with a mind unusually endowed. She had a vivid fancy and a true sense of proportion, she seemed to have been set apart for a career in literature." With inventive, large, decorated chapter initials by the Kinneys.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company

Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
