Found this one in all my stuff at mom & dad's! Reaffirms that I was a mythology nut even as a kid. (Here I thought I might have been imagining it all.)
I must have gotten this one from a scholastic book fair... or perhaps one of the flyers they sent home selling books. Seems like I always had a list a mile long of the books I wanted!
This is a great book for children or really for whoever! It's an easy way to lean about the norse myths... about Odin and Thor and Loki and all the gods and goddesses! My favorite story is The Marriage of the Ice Maiden!
A great book for my growing mythology collection!

A comprehensive yet simple compilation of the integral Norse myths. I read this as a child and was enamoured with the images and stories, a definite go-to for young readers interested in the original Norse mythos but too young to grasp the poetic and prose Edda.
