Árni of Arnarfell and his daughters. A novel by Símon Dalaskáld.
Símon was considered what is called a talking poet and often wrote as quickly as others speak fluently. It is believed that few Icelanders have written as many verses as Símon, because in addition to the rhymes he composed, he wrote verses about thousands of people all over the country. Although Símon had begun to publish poems with his rhymes and other poetry before he was thirty, he did not learn to write until he was fifty and never became a good writer. However, he published numerous collections of rhymes, two biographies - Bóla-Hjálmar's saga and the Saga of Eiríkur Magnússon (Mera-Eiríkur), and long after his death a novel he had written, Árni á Arnarfell og dætur hans, was published.
