Sæmundur fróði og selurinn — the illustrated book

Far from home and eager to return, young Sæmundur strikes a bargain with the Devil himself: safe passage across the sea, in exchange for his soul the moment he sets foot on dry land. As the strange seal-shaped ferry nears the shore, Sæmundur has one chance left to outwit the deal before his feet ever touch the sand.

An Icelandic folktale of learning, cleverness, and a seal that was never quite a seal, fully illustrated in Arctic Story House's signature hand-knitted art style.
