The Elder Futhark is an alphabet developed and used by speakers of early Germanic languages in large areas of Europe. Each rune was assigned a sound value and name. The Elder Futhark is the oldest of the runic writing systems and the source from which all other runic alphabets stem. Runes have become a fantasy fiction staple and a popular topic of interest. Ideal for artists, writers, contemporary heathens and beyond, this book serves as an accessible and scholarship-grounded introduction to the oldest runic alphabet, the Elder Futhark. Illustrated by Jacqui Alberts and authored by philologist Joseph S. Hopkins.
