Helgi's story in Hólar. Helgi Ívarsson in Hólar in the Stokkseyrar district tells the story.
The book Sagnabrot Helgi í Hólar contains a selection of writings by scholar and farmer Helgi Ívarsson from Hólar in the Stokkseyrar district (1929-2009). Here you will find articles on folklore and history, tales of poverty in the past, women's stories and chieftains, fragments of local history, a love story from the past and an account of the introduction of radio into the cultural life of the Flói people, to name just a few. Helgi was a child of two and knew firsthand much about age-old working methods and folk customs. Here he compares the lifestyle of the 21st century with that of the time he himself gained insight into among old people in Flói in the early 20th century. In his writings, the author brilliantly manages to intertwine written sources with the oral history of the old storyteller. At the end of this publication is a list of Helgi Ívarsson's writings, and the book also includes a detailed index of names.
