“That’s the joy of myths. The fun comes in telling them yourself—something I warmly encourage you to do, you person reading this. Read the stories in this book, then make them your own, and on some dark and icy winter’s evening, or on a summer night when the sun will not set, tell your friends what happened when Thor’s hammer was stolen, or how Odin obtained the mead of poetry for the gods . . .”

Dive deep into the ancient stories with this fictionalization of Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. It tells you about the origin of the nine worlds and the becoming of the gods, giants and dwarfs.

Have you ever felt the need to learn more about Norse Mythology but hadn’t got the stamina for some dry old and stuffy book, read this book by Gaiman. This wonderful prosaic retelling really made the stories come to live again. From the early stages of existence, through the mischievous acts of Loki and the stupidity of the strongest God Thor, Gaiman tells it with so much humor and joy that you cannot but feel the same excitement and chuckle along. Although Gaiman might have modernized the myths in adding some dialogues and context they are accurate in content and therefore a perfect start if you are interested in Norse Mythology. If you like audiobooks, I highly recommend this one with Gaiman as narrator!
