Norse Mythology

by Neil Gaiman

THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF NETFLIX HIT THE SANDMAN

‘With the deftest of touches, the characters are once again brought to life’ JOANNE HARRIS
‘The halls of Valhalla have been crying out for Gaiman to tell their stories’ OBSERVER

The great Norse myths, which have inspired so much of modern fiction, are dazzlingly retold by Neil Gaiman. Tales of dwarfs and frost giants, of treasure and magic, and of Asgard, home to the gods: Odin the all-father, highest and oldest of the Aesir; his mighty son Thor, whose hammer Mjollnir makes the mountain giants tremble; Loki, wily and handsome, reliably unreliable in his lusts; and Freya, more beautiful than the sun or the moon, who spurns those who seek to control her.

From the dawn of the world to the twilight of the gods, this is a thrilling, vivid retelling of the Norse myths from the award-winning, bestselling Neil Gaiman.

I listened to this on audiobook, and Neil Gaiman did a fantastic job narrating and bringing these stories to life. I didn't grow up knowing these stories, but I'm definitely going to look into the source material now.

This was incredible, and I can only imagine what other ways these stories could be or have been interpreted.
