In Norse mythology, giants, tricksters, and hammer-wielding gods reign supreme. The exciting stories of Odin, Thor, and Loki served as the foundation for a religious system that is fascinating and largely unfamiliar to most. This book recounts the stories the Vikings and northern Germanic peoples told and explores how these tales have been passed on for generations to appear in popular culture today.
