Summary: Excellent book!
Review: This book is easy to read and contains lots of info on the Norse Gods and Goddesses, along with the legendary stories of their journeys and classical sagas. It also explains how some of the myths may have got started and what they symbolize, and contains 64 illustrations.For me, what I liked best about the book was the description of a spirits journey to Niflheim. I never could find much detail on it, but this book tells you all about the Norse's beliefs of the afterlife. So far, this is the best book on Norse myths that I've read!

Summary: Great introduction to Norse Mythology
Review: This is a great complilation of the myths and legends of the old Norse. Full of the great stories pulled from the eddas. This book encouraged me to actually begin to study the eddas.

Summary: Nordic tales at their best
Review: This is yet another work that is simple to grasp and thoroughly laid out for the reader. The index and glossary cover it all, and make finding things easy. The illustrations go well with the book and you can get an idea from the artist's perspective, the outward meaning that the myths try to convey. Beauty, form, courage.... The images in the pages help when reading to children, and the wording is easy enough for even the young to grasp. Don't miss this book, and try to get Kevin Crossley Holland's book on Norse Myths as well as Masks of Odin by Titichenell for the REAL meaning behind the "myths". Remember, trust your blood and follow your ancestors.
