Goodreads

This book is a great choice for fans of folklore, Norse Gods, and maybe even the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Kevin Crossley-Holland and Jeffrey Love teamed up before to create Norse Myths: Tales of Odin, Thor, and Loki and this shorter book is a companion to it, focusing less on the Gods and more on the interactions between Gods and humans. They’re both very, very good. Get them for your library or your school or your kids. The writing is clear and accessible and the illustrations are as stark and beautiful as Scandinavian landscapes are. These are a perfect addition to any myth/folktales collection.
