The Norse Myths by Kevin Crossley-Holland
A vivid, accessible retelling of the Norse myth cycle that brings the cosmos and its inhabitants to life: the creation of the worlds and Yggdrasil, the quests and contradictions of gods such as Odin, Thor, Freyja and Loki, the deeds of heroes and giants, and the inexorable doom of Ragnarök. Drawing closely on the Old Norse Eddas, the book balances faithful mythic detail, lyrical prose and helpful notes to make these ancient, often brutal stories resonate for modern readers.
