During the combat, Holger sustained injuries to his head, and became unconscious. In a mission to rescue and transport prisoners, Holger engaged in a hand-to-hand combat against a German soldier. In 1941, during World War 2, Holger decided to travel back to Europe to join an underground resistance force, fighting against Nazi Germany. He managed to find a job in the US as an engineer. Holger Calrsen, was a Danish migrant to the US. The difference, is in Three Hearts and Three Lions, Poul Anderson focused more on crafting a heroic epic.
The story of Three Hearts and Three Lions, is similar to Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court".
However, Three Hearts and Three lions, is often considered as one of the most ground breaking fantasy novels, and is the foundation for Gary Gygax's Dungeons and Dragons franchise. It is often widely acknowledged, the best novel from Anderson, is his 1954 fantasy novel, "The Broken Sword", a fantasy novel fashioned after Nordic saga (review coming soon). His works are inspired by Norse mythology, and the stories are often told in the style similar to epics and sagas. He won numerous awards for his sci-fi fantasy books. Poul Anderson, is one of my favorite authors. However, this hidden jewel is widely recognized in the community of fantasy fiction, as one of the most influential novel in the genre. Published in 1953 and authored by Poul Anderson, "Three Hearts and Three Lions", is one of those fantasy classics unknown by many modern readers.
