Beginning with a giant, a cow and the first of the gods, the Keary sisters retell the Norse myths as one continuous story for young readers. Chapters follow the dwarfs and light elves, the dark world of Niflheim, the children of Loki, the rainbow bridge Bifröst and the Norns, then Thor’s journey to Jötunheim and Frey’s courtship of the giantess Gerd.

A Victorian retelling written with real feeling for the old stories, ideal before or after reading the Eddas themselves. Download the free EPUB.
