Reviews

'This book is a helpful introduction to Norse mythology. A useful list of sources is included and black and white illustrations add interest. The reader gains a sense of the beliefs and superstitions of early Norse people. Some of these beliefs are preserved in songs still sung in the Faroe Isles today.'
-- The School Librarian
