Norse Mythology

Book • 2016
In 'Norse Mythology', Neil Gaiman presents a novelistic arc of the Norse myths, starting with the creation of the world and the nine realms, and delving into the stories of gods such as Odin, Thor, and Loki.

The book includes tales of natural phenomena, the theft of Thor's hammer, and the binding of Fenrir, all leading up to the final battle of Ragnarok.

Gaiman's retelling maintains the original myths while infusing them with his characteristic wit and prose, making these ancient stories accessible and engaging for modern readers.
