Brown retells the Norse myths in clear, lively prose for young readers. She begins with the making of the world from the ice and fire of the abyss and tells how Odin gave his eye for wisdom, how Idun’s magic apples were stolen, how the dwarfs forged Thor’s hammer, how Loki’s children were bound, and how Thor went fishing for the Midgard serpent.

One of the best introductions to Norse mythology for children, with E. Boyd Smith’s illustrations. Download the free EPUB.
