The Norse myths are woven into the fabric of our storytelling - from the novels of Tolkien to the worlds of comics and superheroes.They are also an inspiration for Neil Gaiman's own award-winning, bestselling fiction.
Now Gaiman reaches back through time to the original source stories in an epic and electrifying retelling of the great Norse myths - thrilling tales of dwarfs and frost giants,of treasures and magic,and of Asgard,home to the gods: Odin the all-father,highest and oldest of the god; his mighty son Thor,whose hammer, Mjollinor,was forged by dwarfs and makes the mountain giants tremble; Tyr the one-handed,Frigg the queen of gods; Loki, wily and handsome,reliably unreliable in his lusts; and Freya,more beautiful than the sun or the moon,who gives short shrift to the gods,giants and ogres who seek to control her.
Gaiman's gods are thoroughly alive on the page - irascible,visceral,playful - as he leads us from the beginning of everything to Ragnarok,the inescapable final downfall of the gods. . . .
