Early years

Halldór Gujónsson was born in Reykjavk in 1902. When he was three years old, his family moved to the Laxnes farm in Mosfellssveit parish. "He was born up and profoundly influenced by his grandmother, who "singed me ancient songs before I could talk," told me stories from heathen times and sang me cradle songs from the Catholic period." His first published writing appeared in 1916 in the children's newspapers skan and Sólskin, the former being a part of the North American Icelandic newspaper Lögberg, as well as Morgunbla.ia. In 1918, Laxness attended and graduated from the Reykjavk Lyceum. He had already started his travels on the continent by the time his first book, Barn náttrunnar (Child of Nature), was published in 1919.
