Beschreibung
The oldest stories from around the world tell about the "e;beginnings of things."e; This collection of thrilling tales of the Far North is no different. Narratives from the Land of the Midnight Sun describe winters as terrible times of cold and gloom, in a region where jagged mountain peaks tower over deep valleys that are home to giants and other spirits. Specially written for young readers, these rousing Norse myths bring to life a land populated by brave warriors, cruel giants, mischievous dwarfs, and other fantastic beings. Sixteen tales include accounts of "e;How Odin Lost His Eye,"e; "e;The Dwarf's Gifts,"e; "e;The Giantess Who Would Not,"e; "e;Loki's Children,"e; "e;The Magic Apples,"e; and eleven other enchanting sagas.
