The Norse Myths de Kevin Crossley-Holland

The Norse Myths: The Pantheon Fairy Tale & Folklore Library

Autor Kevin Crossley-Holland
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 ian 2000
Here are thirty-two classic myths that bring the pre-Christian Scandinavian world vividly to life. Gods, humans, and monstrous beasts engage in prodigious drinking bouts, contests of strength, greedy schemes for gold, and lusty encounters. Included are tales of Odin, the wisest and most fearsome of all the gods; Thor, the thundering powerhouse; and the exquisite mafic-wielding Freyja. Their stories bear witness to the courage, passion, and boundless spirit that were hallmarks of the Norse world.

With black-and-white drawings throughout
Part of the Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library
