Viking! by Kevin Crossley-Holland
The Norse myths are second only to the Greek myths in their greatness and power, and these stories of giants striding across the Nordic landscape, of stallions pulling the sun's chariot, of the trickster Loki's shapeshifting, of the slaying of monsters and the passions, squabbles and betrayals of gods and goddesses, are magnificent to read. They are selected and slightly adapted from 'The Penguin Book of Norse Myths', Kevin Crossley-Holland's definitive collection of retellings.
"This master storyteller adapts the legends of Norse mythology into a collection of stories that rival the best fiction books" * Good Book Guide, 1 Feb 04 *
