Synopsis

Exciting stories, extraordinary creatures, and compelling gods, goddesses, and heroes come together in this compendium of Norse myths - first told long ago by the Vikings.

Read about Thor, the god of thunder and how he once disguised himself as a bride to seek revenge on a giant and retrieve his powerful hammer - Mjölnir, and how Sif, the goddess of fertility had her long golden hair cut off by Loki, the trickster god. Each myth is told with thrilling immediacy, in language that is easy for children to understand, while retaining the awe, majesty and intrigue of the original tales.

Author: Matt Ralphs writes children's non-fiction and middle grade novels, with a focus on history, myths and folklore. He worked as an editor for many years and has helped to create any type of book you may care to imagine.

Mýty vo všeobecnosti zbožňujem v každej podobe. Fascinuje ma to čarovno, nadprirodzený svet a dokonalé postavy. Vďaka tejto knihe som si mohla pocestovať na chladný sever, k drsným bojovníkom a magickým bytostiam. Priznám sa, že kto vie aké vedomosti o mýtoch zo severu som nemala. Jasné, Odin, Thor,......more

Krásne ilustrované vydanie najznámejších severských mýtov. Predstavuje ich svet, bohov, príbehy a rôzne stvorenia. Ak už o severskej mytológii čo-to tušíte, veľa nového tam nenájdete.
