The Children of Odin: A Book of Northern Myths

As creative retellings of the Poetic Eddas, these Norse hero-tales describe the birth of the world then follow the trajectory of the gods as they strive with the giants of Jotenheim, with men, and even with themselves to stave off the twilight of the gods and the dawning of the mortal age. Many of these myths will be well known and loved by readers, and many more will present new and stirring adventures. Recounted with beautiful imagery and the power of dramatic narrative, this book will be enjoyed by young and old together.
