  Popular Tales from the Norse: Memoir of George Dasent
In 1832 Dasent's father died, and the final emancipation of the slaves a little later proving the death-knell of the commercial prosperity of the West Indian islands, it became increasingly difficult for the proprietors to live upon their estates.
Dasent next proceeded to Stockholm as secretary to Sir Thomas Cartwright, the British Envoy to the Court of Sweden, having been recommended to him by his old tutor Jacobson as a young man of great promise and ability.
Dasent wrote the article referred to, and sat up all night to finish it, as was his wont when absorbed in his subject.

 Gisli the Outlaw Index   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The story of Gisli the Outlaw, one of the minor Icelandic sagas, was first translated into English by George Dasent, who also wrote Popular Tales from the Norse.
Dasent was a skilled linguist, folklorist, and journalist, and had a good feel for story-telling.
This is a story of cyclic blood-revenge, set off by a casual overheard remark, leading to the protagonist, Gisli, becoming a fugitive from society, and eventually dying in single combat against a dozen foes.

XII GEORGE WITH THE GOAT There was a king who had a daughter who never could be induced to laugh; she was always sad.
So George said to the man who had the foot on his shoulder: "You said that if you took the foot down, you could jump a hundred miles." He replied: "I'll easily do that." He took the foot down, jumped, and was there.
But George said to the man who held his thumb in the bottle in the place of a stopper: "You said, if you pulled your thumb out, you could besprinkle everything.
