Padraic Colum’s The Children of Odin is widely regarded as one of the finest retellings of Norse mythology in English. Drawing on the Prose and Poetic Eddas, Colum narrates the creation of the world, the adventures of Odin, Thor, and Loki, the building of Asgard, the death of Baldr, and the final catastrophe of Ragnarök — with a storyteller’s instinct for drama and wonder.
Written with genuine poetic feeling and a deep respect for the original material, this is the Norse mythology book to give anyone who loves great myth. This free EPUB is beautifully reformatted and ready for any device.
