In this literary retelling of the Norse myths, Neil Gaiman brings the ancient tales of Odin, Loki, Thor, and the pantheon of gods and giants into accessible yet lyrical modern prose. Drawing from the original sources of Norse mythology, Gaiman distills the mythic arc from creation to Ragnarök with fidelity and subtle humor, offering readers a narrative structure that honors the old stories while making them resonate anew. The book balances scholarly respect for the Eddas with the author’s own narrative voice, making it a standout contribution to mythological literature and a compelling entry point for those interested in the cultural and symbolic richness of the Norse tradition. Suitable for readers of mythology, literature, and folklore alike.
