An introduction to such a vast subject as Norse mythology can be problematic, as it could well fall between two stools; so packed with details as to put one off, or so vague, that one is none the wiser for having read it. This audiobook manages a pleasing balance, succeeds in whetting the appetite and supplying excellent resources for the listener who wishes to know more.

You will hear about...

  • Creation in Norse mythology
  • The nine worlds
  • Major gods and goddesses
  • Valhalla
  • Ragnarok
  • The sagas
  • The influence of Norse mythology on our lives today
