I never claimed it was going to be easy.

(Well, perhaps I did, regarding the finding of the correct Bard).

But a new student of Old Norse is likely to read some of the Sagas and one or both of the two Eddas, or rather extracts of them in Old Norse and maybe the whole works in translation. Given that most (I believe) of the well-known sagas are anonymous, who does that leave?
