Norse Myths: Tales of Odin, Thor and Loki | Kevin Crossley-Holland
4 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Long-recognized master of Norse mythology Kevin Crossley-Holland pairs with award-winning artist Jeffrey Alan Love for an exceptional look at the Viking gods. A collaboration by two talented creators provides the perfect means to delve into Norse mythology and pore over the enthralling exploits of all-powerful Odin; mighty Thor and his hammer, Mjolnir; and Loki, the infamous trickster. From the creation of the nine worlds to the final battle of Ragnarok, Carnegie Medal winner Kevin Crossley-Holland details the Viking gods as never before, while Jeffrey Alan Love's lavish illustrations bring the mythic figures to life on the page. Readers will be caught up in the seesawing struggle for power between gods, dwarfs, and giants, punctuated by surprising love matches, thrilling journeys, and dazzling magic. With its well-researched, lyrical prose and its dramatic and powerful artwork, this wonderful gift edition makes the perfect book for both the staunchest fans of mythology and newcomers with no knowledge of Viking folklore.

An easily readable, fun jaunt through the Norse Myths, broken up into chapters, but the flow is that of a cohesive book, from one tale to the next. Beautiful artwork.

lyradora Definitely recommend this one. 😊 It goes well with The Children of Odin by Padraic Colum and Willy Pogany. 7y
