b"The story of Viglund the Fair and his lady Ketilrid is a saga for lovers. \\xa0This fifteenth century tale, the last of our warrior poet's sagas, covers several generations. \\xa0Each generation features a case of true love coming up against the secular tradition of arranged marriage. \\xa0Can Viglund and Ketilrid overcome the obstacles set in their way and join at last in wedded bliss? \\xa0It never worked out for the other warrior poets, so why would this one be any different? \\xa0Listen to find out, if you dare! \\xa0This is a remarkable, if somewhat late, work of saga literature. \\xa0While the passage of time has clearly affected the style and structuring of the warrior poet genre, in some ways this is the warrior poet saga you've been waiting for. \\xa0Join us as we examine the romance of Viglund and Ketilrid on this episode of Saga Thing."
