Reviews
"Out of print for many years, 'Norse Gods and Giants' has been very handsomely reissued by The New York Review Children's Collection and retitled 'D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths'. Featuring a sturdy sewn binding, the book arguably represents the pinnacle of the d'Aulaires' achievement as storytellers and artists." --The New York Times Book Review, "Out of print for many years, 'Norse Gods and Giants' has been very handsomely reissued by The New York Review Children's Collection and retitled 'D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths'. Featuring a sturdy sewn binding, the book arguably represents the pinnacle of the d'Aulaires' achievement as storytellers and artists." -- The New York Times Book Review, "...a mythological tour de force." -- The New York Times "Out of print for many years, Norse Gods and Giants has been very handsomely reissued by the The New York Review Children's Collection and retitled D'Aulaire's Book of Norse Myths . Featuring a sturdy sewn binding, the book arguably represents the pinnacle of the d'Aulaires' achievement as storytellers and artists....the prose seems livelier and more robust in the Norse myths than in the Greek...Their retelling of the Greek myths for children had to pull its punches somewhat....but since sex doesn't feature as prominently in Norse mythology, this book is able to stay scrupulously faithful to the Edda and still maintain its PG rating. But not to worry: there's still a lot of drinking, fighting and bad behavior, particularly on the part of fiery Thor, who is forever whacking frost giants on the head with his hammer, and the highly entertaining Loki, who is one of the most complicated and devious characters in anybody's mythology, anywhere. Loki is the Bart Simpson of Norse mythology, forever pulling pranks, forever getting caught and forever talking his way out of the consequences..." -- The New York Times Book Review "[These] works, especially the books of Norse and Greek myths, were and remain crucial to me, and now to my own children. The interest in mythology that was kindled by those two books has endured throughout my life, and has directly influenced my own writing in countless ways...The Norse book was always my favorite, though. I must have read it a dozen times at least by the time I was nine or ten." -- Michael Chabon

  • D'Aulaires' Book Of Norse Myths

    I decided to buy this book because I already have a copy of it, of my own. I wanted my grandkids to experience the same book I loved as a grade school child. So I am biased in this review. Anyone who has read anything about the D'Aulaires, knows that their childrens books are great. In fact, reading Norse God's and Giants, (this books original title) as a child, made me the fan of Norse mythology that I am today and it has stuck with me my whole life ! Same can be said for their Greek Mythology book !

  • This is a good book that is somewhat hard to find.

    I liked this book when I was young. I wanted a copy now to read again. It is a very good book.

  • A book very much worth reading!

    This book is a very good intro for young readers into norse mythology. The book is actually written in order and not just a compiled collection of stories. We read it every night to our kids and they love it! It is beautfully illistrated on almost every page. I would very much recommend this book for anyone. whether you are wanting to teach your kids about it, are intrested in learning yourself or just enjoy these kind of stories.

  • Excellent book
