#QuotsyMar19 Day 29: One of the most famous #giant(s) of all time. While I have read the D‘Aulaires‘ version of the Norse myths, I have yet to read this one.
We had an awesome time in Norway - and obviously I had to pick up a couple of books while I was there.
My Folio purchase this month, inspired by American Gods and the latest #bookishwouldyourather by @Kalalalatja. A my free mystery book is a parallel biography of Wellington and Napoleon 😊 #foliofreaks
pickGreat introduction to my favourite mythology! Crossley-Holland includes notes explaining his translation and how he chose sources and compiled the collection. Great for newcomers to the Norse Myths and religious studies/classics geeks alike!
