Our Fathers' Godsaga: Retold for the Young

Rating:
Summary: Worth Reading
Review: I loved The Lord of the Rings and thought it was time to get back in touch with the roots of Tolkien's lore.

This work, "Our Fathers' Godsaga" is an amazing synthesis of the Norse mythological material, retold in a logical and concise manner. It's the best retelling of the Norse mythic epic I've ever read! I could not put it down.

Very nicely done. It contains the classic illustrations and is a translation from the Swedish of Viktor Rydberg. It also contains a full glossary of names at the back. Great resource. Highly recommended!

Review: This is the absolute best epic re-telling of the Germanic myths ever put in print! Rydberg was a master - and hats off to the translator, Reaves, for a top-notch job. If I could give this ten stars, I would. It belongs on every bookshelf!

Summary: Essential for understanding Norse myths
Review: Viktor Rydberg was a scholar and a poet who collected the scattered fragments of the Norse mythology and connected them into an understandable whole.
This book is useful for the serious scholar of the myths, members of the Norse Pagan (Asatru religion), and anyone interested in myth and fantasy.
Since the author was a Christian, this book is suitable for Christian readers as well as Pagan.
