The Norse Myths

Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library

by Kevin Crossley-Holland

*****

The best tellings of any mythology I have ever read. The first stories sound like translations, but as the book gets underway Crossley-Holland finds his own voice and the characters come alive. Loki is given a development from mischievous to malignant that makes dramatic sense.
