________________________________________________________________

Exciting stories, extraordinary creatures, and compelling gods, goddesses, and heroes come together in this compendium of Norse Myths - first told long ago by the Vikings.


Read about Thor, the god of thunder, and how he once disguised himself as a bride to seek revenge on a giant and retrieve his powerful hammer -Mjölnir, and how Sif, the goddess of fertility, had her long golden hair cut off by Loki, the trickster god. Each myth is told with thrilling immediacy in language that is easy for children to understand while retaining the original tales' awe, majesty, and intrigue. Illustrations by multi-award-winning artist Katie Ponder breathe new life into each story.

Inside this stunning illustrated storybook for kids, you'll discover:

  • Compelling profiles of a wide variety of characters in Norse legends, complete with a reference section that sets the stories in context
  • 20 enthralling myths - some well-known, some less well-known - from Odin to Baldur
  • More than a collection of myths - also includes a map of the Norse lands and a pronunciation guide
  • Original and stylized illustrations by award-winning artist Katie Ponder on every page - a perfect gift book for kids interested in art, myths, or history


A beautiful mythology book for children that will awaken curiosity and delight the whole family.
