About this product
Product Information
With black-and-white drawings throughout, here are thirty-two classic myths that bring the pre-Christian Scandinavian world to life and bear witness to the courage, passion, and boundless spirit that were hallmarks of the Norse world. 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.

I recently purchased a sizeable number of books from this seller. All of the books were in excellent, almost like-new, condition, and the one book over 100 years old was in great condition for its age. Exactly as pictured and described. Super-fast shipping and expertly packaged. This seller obviously cares about his customers and the items that he sells. Excellent customer service and communication. Thank you so much for the smooth, easy, pleasant transactions.
