The first historical novel by the Nobel Prize-winning author of Kristin Lavransdatter

A Penguin Classic

More than a decade before writing Kristin Lavransdatter, the trilogy about fourteenth-century Norway that won her the Nobel Prize, Sigrid Undset published Gunnar's Daughter, a brief, swiftly moving tale about a more violent period of her country's history, the Saga Age. Set in Norway and Iceland at the beginning of the eleventh century, Gunnar's Daughter is the story of the beautiful, spoiled Vigdis Gunnarsdatter, who is raped by the man she had wanted to love. A woman of courage and intelligence, Vigdis is toughened by adversity. Alone she raises the child conceived in violence, repeatedly defending her autonomy in a world governed by men. Alone she rebuilds her life and restores her family's honor--until an unremitting social code propels her to take the action that again destroys her happiness.

First published in 1909, Gunnar's Daughter was in part a response to the rise of nationalism and Norway's search for a national identity in its Viking past. But unlike most of the Viking-inspired art of its period, Gunnar's Daughter is not a historical romance. It is a skillful conversation between two historical moments about questions as troublesome in Undset's own time--and in ours--as they were in the Saga Age: rape and revenge, civil and domestic violence, troubled marriages, and children made victims of their parents' problems.

Sturdy, cute and practical.
Style: Squirrel
These are so cute and practical. I have 2 mini schnauzer puppies and they are addicted to this play. It comes with 5 squirrels. They dig and smush into the holes in the tree to get the squirrels out. I throw them around and they play and then I put all the squirrels back in the tree. Again, they go right back to the process of smushing and digging around to get them back out. ALL the squirrels squeak! Excellent item, very sturdy tree and the squirrels can withstand quite a bit of aggressive play. (I've had to sew them a couple times)

Durable and adorable
Style: Turtle
Big dogs need love too. My boy is a Lab/Pyrenees mix and he carries his babies around everywhere. He is so gentle with them. He loves to get them out of their house, and keeps him busy mentally and physically. They are definitely indoor toys, but I would highly recommend these if you have a fur baby that gets a favorite toy and cares for the special toys for a long time. The only down side is the external stuffed “house” rips apart so we are left with the little bunnies, squirrels and turtles without their homes.

Little dogs get overwhelmed
Style: Squirrel
It’s as described but my dog won’t play with it, I think it’s a bit overwhelming for a 5 lb yorkiepoo. She loves the squirrels individually but won’t pull them out of the toy stump. It’s made well and good quality.

Such a cute toy that my dog loves ! Yellow is her favorite and when she saw this she instantly gleamed with joy! I love that the dogs can also dig to find the bees which for a dachshund owner helped keeping her a busy bee

Our Pup's New Favorite!
Style: Rabbit
This is my 2 year old Golden Retriever's new favorite toy! She was confused, at first, with why the carrot was lumpy, but when she discovered some little bunny ears poking out of the hole, she got excited and got to work. She loves pulling out her "babies," and any other smaller toys we put in there for her. The bunnies have become a favorite toy on their own, too, and she carries them around, and loves to hand them to us and look expectantly while we admire her "baby." <3 She's still young, so has pulled at the carrot quite a bit, but hasn't destroyed it. I'm pleasantly surprised by the durability so far!
