Norse Mythology

Neil Gaiman, one of the world’s most beloved storytellers, brings to life the great Norse myths in Norse Mythology, a captivating and masterfully crafted collection of tales that have inspired countless works of modern fiction and fantasy.

Beginning with the genesis of the cosmos and stretching across time to the cataclysmic events of Ragnarok, Norse Mythology seamlessly weaves together a series of enthralling vignettes that explore themes of fate, betrayal, heroism, and the inexorable march of time. Every page is imbued with Gaiman's signature style, melding the ancient with the accessible, making these age-old stories feel both timeless and relevant.
