Show Notes
A creative-writing professor discusses Icelandic mythology, as told in the Viking-inspired sagas — and how a summer backpacking trek around the island nation helped him understand the role these tales play in Iceland's modern-day culture.

And experts share advice for fall travels to England's gardens and stone circles, and for understanding British slang.
