Description
The world of Norse mythology is vast, filled with tales of sacrifice, greed, bravery, vengeance, and gods and creatures who seem all-too-human. This charming book makes this fascinating world perfectly accessible for children. Part 1 introduces the “what’s what” of Norse mythology: the nine realms, the world-tree Yggdrasil, gods and goddesses, and a smattering of creatures. Part 2 takes up the majority of the page count with 12 kid-friendly versions of both well-known and lesser-known stories.
Every aspect of this delightful retelling reads like a classic bedtime story book. The pages pop with full-color illustrations, creating a cartoonish rendition of selected tales from Norse mythology. The writing style is that of a typical children’s story, with many nuances of the source material simplified in favor of a more straightforward, comical narration. Despite its simplicity, the book still serves as a thorough introduction that retains the cleverness of its source material.
