Children of Odin : the Book of Northern Myths by Padraic Colum

Padraic Colum retells the full cycle of Norse mythology starting with their creation myths, through the rise of the AEsir and Vanir gods, and their many adventures, which culminate in Ragnarok (a battle between good and evil), and, the rise of the world of men and women.

Colum’s retelling is gripping, and, a wonderful introduction to an astoundingly complete mythology for readers of all ages.
