Synopsis

Children will love the epic tales of Norse heroes in this collection of stories. Many of the tales were compiled by Saxo Grammaticus and other Scandinavian writers, and they perfectly complement the more well-known stories of Norse Gods. The illustrations are based on Old Norse motifs, drawings and carvings, and bring the atmosphere of the stories and poems dramatically to life. The stories are suitable for children aged from about seven to twelve.
