An introduction to such a vast subject as Norse mythology can be problematic, as it could well fall between two stools; so packed with details as to put one off, or so vague, that one is none the wiser for having read it. This audiobook manages a pleasing balance, succeeds in whetting the appetite and supplying excellent resources for the listener who wishes to know more.
You will hear about...
Creation in Norse mythology
The nine worlds
Major gods and goddesses
Valhalla
Ragnarok
The sagas
The influence of Norse mythology on our lives today
The author quotes generously from the most important relevant source which is freely available via Project Gutenberg, and you are left with the sounds and taste of the times... ringing in your ears and tingling on your tongue.
