Norse Mythology

I enjoyed this immensely; I remember having the same book of Norse Legends as Neil Gaiman did, when I was young. I read and re-read it many times, poring over the fantastic illustrations and enjoying the vividly described lives of the Norse Gods. Neil's style is one of storyteller and his particular gift is to re-tell these old myths and legends in a way that evokes a fantastical landscape in which the gods often seem no more than bickering, spoilt children and more often than not, they get their deserved comeuppence.
