Summary | Legends of Norse Mythology is a fully illustrated anthology of Norse gods, giants, monsters, and heroes retold anew. Featuring beautiful and otherworldly portraits of mythological characters from Isabella Mazzanti and enchanting text from Old English scholar and Norse mythology expert Dr Thomas Birkett, this collection of timeless tales is the perfect gift for lovers of Viking myths as well as readers looking for an introduction to this epic world of mystical power, battles, quests and intrigue. With this book, readers can take an adventure through time to a realm of ice and fire, magic and mischief. They'll meet a cast of characters from Norse folklore and be swept up in their epic deeds and fates. Inside, there are more than 30 profiles of Norse figures-from gods and goddesses, to giants, elves, monsters and other mythical beings. Each profile introduces the figure, including their defining attributes and a new retelling of their story, along with sidelights of extra facts and details. Figures include familiar gods like Thor to lesser-known legends such as giant sisters Gjálp and Greip. A captivating visual portrayal of each figure helps crystallize these beings in readers' imaginations. Isabella Mazzanti's evocative artwork perfectly express the fantastic traits and powers of the mythical figures within. A visual feast and a journey to another world, this book is perfect for the whole family to explore and enjoy. |
