A review by orchidlilly
Favorite Norse Myths by Mary Pope Osborne

adventurous informative lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

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.
