The saga tells of a love triangle between Gu?run Osvifrsdottir, Kjartan Olafsson and Bolli ?orleiksson. Kjartan and Bolli are two lads who are close friends but they both love Gu?run which causes hatred between them and results in tragedy. Numerous ancient manuscripts contain this saga, dating back to the fourteenth century and it is second only to the Njals saga in the number of medieval manuscripts preserved. Laxd?la saga is a popular story because of its poetic beauty and pathetic sentiment. This version contains an illustration and the original marginal sub-headings interweaved in the text.
