About this listen

The tales of the Norse gods, of the giants, demons, trolls and dwarves, still have the power to fascinate more than a thousand years after they were first told. Here are the stories of the one-eyed god Odin, the all-seeing, who from his throne in Asgard the home of the gods, has to prepare for Ragnarok, the final conflict between good and evil. There are tales too of Tyr the god of war, of the cunning Loki, of Thor the mighty thunder god and a host of others. These retellings of the old tales are given extra dramatic perspective by the music of Mahler, Greig, Smetana, They come to life as never before.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

The narration by Benjamin Soames is expressive and almost makes you feel like a third-person watching the stories unfold. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for an introduction to Norse mythology.

A great way to get your kids into myths and stories in general it worked for me when my folks gave it to me that and the Greek tales by the same author. I'm 23 now just brought this audiobook and still love, life sometimes doesn?t disappoint, which is nice!
