What's old is good

I frequently borrowed this book from the Harris Park Elementary library. It is as entertaining as an adult as it was as a youngster. Along with Edith Hamilton's book, these re-tellings are great for simply and concisely relating mythic tales to my high school students. The artwork is a bonus. D'Aulaires' book of Greek myths is also well done.

Great book for kids

I've been reading this book to my kids each night at bedtime. My 7-year old loves it. A great introduction to the Norse Myths. Well written and great illustrations as well.

The greatest book in existence.

This book, the text, and the illustrations inside are the sole key to happiness. If you buy this book, open it, and are not immediately happy, then you're a God damn Communist.

God Bless America, and God Bless D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths.

Greatness!

Along with D'Aulaire's Greek Myths, I checked this book out of the library every week. I absolutely adored looking at the pictures and reading the stories. A great, colorful book for any kid.

norse myths

my children enjoyed this book very much. they were interested as they had heard that Tolkien had based Lord of the Rings on Norse myths and they wanted to read them. My teenagers and preteens were the age that enjoyed these stories.

The Norse myths are some of the greatest stories of all time. Weird monsters, thoroughly human gods, elves and sprites and gnomes, with grim giants nursing ancient grudges lurking behind?the mysterious and entrancing world of Norse myth comes alive in these pages thanks to the spellbinding storytelling and spectacular pictures of the incomparable d'Aulairse. In this classic book, the art of the Caldecott Award?winning authors of d'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths, a longtime favorite of children and parent, reaches one of its pinnacles. It offers a way into a world of fantasy and struggle and charm that has served as inspiration for Marvel Comics and the Lord of the Rings.
