Product Description
Review
"Out of print for many years, 'Norse Gods and Giants' has been very handsomely reissued by The New York Review Children's Collection and retitled 'D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths'. Featuring a sturdy sewn binding, the book arguably represents the pinnacle of the d'Aulaires' achievement as storytellers and artists." --"The New York Times Book Review"
Synopsis
The Caldecott medal-winning d'Aulaires captivate their young audience with this beautifully illustrated introduction to Norse legends, telling stories of "Odin the All-father", "Thor the Thunder-god" and the theft of his hammer, "Loki the mischievous god of the Jotun Race", and "Ragnarokk", the destiny of the gods. Readers meet Bragi, the god of poetry, and the famous Valkyrie maidens protecting Odin's Valhalla, among other gods, goddesses, heroes, and giants. Copious illustrations throughout depict the wondrous other world of Norse folklore and its fantastical Northern landscape. The companion to "D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths", a treasured part of so many children's libraries, has returned to print after more than twenty years.
