The land postmen of Iceland were legendary figures in their time, admired for their courage and selflessness. Braving winter frost, impassable terrain, deep midwinter darkness, and blinding blizzards, they crossed heaths and mountain valleys with unshaken resolve, seldom deterred by the hardships they faced. Always warmly welcomed, they announced their arrival by sounding their post horn as they rode into the farmyards of the nation.
For decades, the stories of these remarkable men captivated generations of readers — but the books have long been out of print. In this volume, Helgi Valtýsson brings together the accounts of numerous land postmen whose tales have inspired poets, authors, and adventurers alike. Hikers and riders still follow their trails today.
This carefully selected collection offers a window into a world now partly vanished — and into the lives of men who time and again risked everything, for little pay, in order to deliver the post of a nation.
