Nancy Marie Brown (born 1959) is an American author, having written five non-fiction books. In The Far Traveler: Voyages of a Viking Woman[1], she reconstructed the life of Gudrid (born ca. 980), an Icelandic voyager known through the Vinland sagas. Her book, Song of the Vikings: Snorri and the Making of Norse Myths,[2] a Times Literary Supplement 2012 Book of the Year, concerned Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241), an Icelandic poet, historian and statesman. In her 2015 book, Ivory Vikings, the Mystery of the Most Famous Chessmen in the World and the Woman Who Made Them,[3] she argues that Margret the Adroit made the Lewis Chessmen.[4]
