Exciting stories, extraordinary creatures and compelling gods, goddesses and heroes come together in this compendium of Norse myths - first told long ago by the Vikings. Listen to tales about Thor, the god of thunder, and how he once disguised himself as a bride to seek revenge on a giant and retrieve his powerful hammer Mjölnir; and how Sif, the goddess of fertility, had her long golden hair cut off by Loki, the trickster god. Each myth is told with thrilling immediacy, in language that is easy for children to understand, while retaining the awe and majesty of the original tales.
