THE WANDERER’S NECKLACE is a fantasy adventure novel by British writer, SIR H. RIDER HAGGARD, first published in 1913 by CASSELL & CO. in the United Kingdom. It’s a classic romance in the old, pre-corrupted sense of the word, a tale rich with colorful, sweeping storytelling, conflict, and love, and a sprawling journey that takes the reader from Jutland to Byzantium to Egypt. Olaf Red-Sword is an eighth-century Northman who is betrayed by his beautiful bride-to-be Iduna the Fair, resulting in bloody interfamilial conflict. Olaf revolts against the bloodthirsty Pagan gods of the North and flees to Byzantium, where he rises in the favor of the Byzantine Empress Irene, becoming a general in her personal bodyguard. More romance ensues. Prior to his betrayal Olaf robs the tomb of an ancient warrior king, himself in a previous life, at Iduna’s bequest, taking from the well-preserved corpse a fabled necklace and heavy bronze sword. The necklace is a prize beyond measure but also is cursed to bring woe to its wearer. It does, again and again.
