Norse Mythology

Norse MythologyNorse Mythology by Neil Gaiman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I lucked into finding an audio copy of this at the library sale and that's how I recommend you approach this. For one Neil Gaiman does an excellent job of reading his work. But more importantly these are the old Norse legends. This was an oral tradition. They should be heard.

What I liked best is not only did he include the most commonly told of these tales but he also included ones you don't hear as often. That was a real treat. Most of them are Thor heavy but that's no surprise and of course Loki as well.

It's worth diving into and the audio book is great.
