Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
Reviewed by: Jennifer Chretien, Reference Librarian
Rating: 5 stars
In Norse Mythology, Gaiman breathes new life into such myths as: "How Odin lost his eye", "How the gods got their treasures", "Loki's children", and "Thor's journey to the land of the giants". These are not new myths; they are modern retellings with a Gaiman twist to the storytelling.
As someone with limited knowledge to Norse Mythology, I found the book to be a delight; easy and quick reading, interesting, and humorous. I can definitely see this as something parents could share with their children as family bonding,
