About this book
Fire and ice give rise to giants, gods and the world itself in E. M. Wilmot-Buxton's retellings of Norse myths for younger readers. The opening story follows Odin and his brothers as they shape the earth and sky, arrange the stars, and set the sun and moon moving in horse-drawn chariots. Natural things become part of a family of divine beings, with night, daylight and the months explained through their actions.
The collection draws on the Eddas and sagas, moving from the origins of the world to stories of Thor, Loki, Balder, Sigurd and Frithiof. Its chapter titles promise magic gold, a missing hammer, a dragon and a storm at sea. Prose stories and a pronouncing index of names make this a useful introduction to the figures and stories of northern mythology.
