Summary: "Gudrid the Fair: A Tale of the Discovery of America" by Maurice Hewlett is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the life of Gudrid, a beautiful and wise Icelandic woman whose lineage connects her to the early Norse explorations of America.

The opening of the tale introduces Thorbeorn, Gudrid’s father, who is facing challenges with age and debt, while simultaneously taking pride in his daughter’s beauty and desirability.
