Nordic mythology

The Viking Age Scandinavians fathomed the secrets of life in their myths and legends. In her classic
Tales of Norse Mythology, folklorist Helene Adeline Guerber brings the gods and goddesses, giants and dwarves, warriors and monsters from the Eddas and Sagas back to life.

These tales range from the comic to the tragic and present such legendary figures as the beautiful and feisty Valkyries, the deceitful demigod Loki, the all-powerful
father of the gods Odin and the imposing god of thunder Thor. The stories about their adventures and heroic deeds deal with passion, love, friendship, pride, courage and betrayal.

This richly illustrated book is aimed not only at anyone who wants to delve into the fascinating material of the Norsemen, but also at those who simply love dramatically and imaginatively
told stories about the rise and fall of the Norse gods.
