Summary
Norse mythology forms the delicate backbone of countless modern stories. Fascinating, dramatic and deliberate, with a gripping tension and vitality, the best-selling author of American Gods brings these Norse tales to life.
The great Norse myths are woven into the fabric of our storytelling - from Tolkien, Alan Garner and Rosemary Sutcliff to Game of Thrones and Marvel Comics. They are also an inspiration for Neil Gaiman's own award-bedecked, best-selling fiction. Now he reaches back through time to the original source stories in a thrilling and vivid rendition of the great Norse tales. Gaiman's gods are thoroughly alive - irascible, visceral, playful and passionate - and the tales carry us from the beginning of everything to Ragnarök and the twilight of the gods. Galvanised by Gaiman's prose, Thor, Loki, Odin and Freya are irresistible forces for modern listeners, and the crackling, brilliant writing demands to be heard around an open fire on a freezing, starlit night.

Fantastic story and storytelling
After listening to Stephan Fry’s Mythos and Heroes, and still looking for more mythology, I was wondering if Norse Mythology might live up to the high standard. It more than can! Neil Gaiman tells a very good story and tells it with his beautifull and deep voice. There is but one regret to this book: After six hours of listening you wish there was more...

This was a great listen
Neil has successfully piqued my interest in Norse mythology. Also makes God Of War that little bit more exciting
