The Ward of King Canute by Ottilie A. Liljencrantz 

There is an old myth of a hero who renewed his strength each time he touched the earth, and finally was overcome by being raised in the air and crushed. Whether or not the Angles risked a like fate as they raised themselves away from the primitive virtues that had been their life and strength, no one can tell; but it has been well said that when Northern blood mingled with English blood at the time of the Danish Conquest, the Anglo-Saxon race touched the earth again. This is available at Ronaldbooks for 89 cents.  Laughingly, it's 2.99 at Amazon.
