Much of what we know of Old Norse mythology is drawn from the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Icelandic chieftain/scholar Snorri Sturluson. This book presents both children and adults with a delightful introduction to Norse myth, its cosmology and its imagery of the cycles of nature, as interpreted by modern readers of the Edda. Florence Helga Thibault's charming illustrations bring the stories of the gods to life, while Anna Kristín Ásbjörnsdóttir has retold the tales with children in mind - though without oversimplifying the language. Foreword by Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson, High Chieftain of the followers of the Old Norse religion (Ásatrú)
