About this listen

A full-cast dramatisation of Neil Gaiman's magical retellings of the Norse myths, inviting us into a world of gods and monsters, tricks and trust, fiery endings and new beginnings

Winner of The London Book Fair CAMEO Award 2020 for Book to Audio adaptation.

'And the game begins anew…'

Meet the trickster god Loki and his astonishing children – the giant wolf Fenrir, Jormungundr the snake that encircles the world, and Hel, the little girl who grows up to be Queen of the dead. Here, too, is Odin the all-father, who sacrificed his eye to see the future; Thor the thunderer, who defends Asgard with his fearsome strength and mighty hammer; and Freya the understandably angry, most beautiful of the gods and always being gambled for by unwanted suitors.

From the beginning of the universe in fire and ice, to the very end of the world, Ragnarok, these enthralling tales of gods, goddesses, dwarves and giants bring the ancient myths to vigorous life.

Diana Rigg, Derek Jacobi, Colin Morgan, Natalie Dormer and Neil Gaiman himself are among the stellar cast in these spellbinding stories of old betrayals – and new hope.

Fun and cute. worth the £3 but maybe not a credit because it's so short. great acting. sweet little story. nice break from long audiobooks.

Worth £3 and a break from long audio books - fun

The stories told and voice actors are brilliant - though my only criticism is that they sometimes cut corners with the story, and they’ve skipped some stories altogether (fair enough, limited budget/scope) but if this was all stories in this book, and no short versions - this would be a masterpiece.

Great reenactment

very good version - it must be as I wish it were much longer.

Excellent retelling

This was incredibly well done. I'm a big fan of Neil's book and audiobook. And this was beyond good! I just wish I had more of the norse stories adapted like this. The cast, Sound effects and music score was perfect. Never did i once find it distracting. the Mix engineer did a fantastic job. 10 outta 10

FOR THE LOVE OF ODIN I DEMAND YOU MAKE MORE!
