Norse Myths […] will delight both the newcomer and the Norse aficionado.” - The Guardian

"A book to be treasured for generations” - Daily Mail

The gods of the Vikings come to life as never before in this extraordinary illustrated anthology by Carnegie Medal-winning author Kevin Crossley-Holland and artist Jeffrey Alan Love.

These dramatic, enthralling, and atmospheric tales are based on the Scandinavian myth cycle – one of the greatest and most culturally significant stories in the world – and tell of Odin with his one eye, Thor with his mighty hammer, and Loki, the red-haired, shape-shifting trickster.

In this stunning collection of myths, the strange world of ancient magic, giants, dwarfs, and monsters is unforgettably imagined.
