Delia (Australia) (2007/10/06):
By Myra Schjelderup "Ignolopi" (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Myths of the Norsemen: Retold from the Old Norse Poems and Tales (Puffin Classics) (Paperback)
This is a fun book to read, and is perfect for introducing anyone to Norse mythology. It has all the basics, where you learn about the more important gods and their stories.
There isn't much violence in the book, because this is to tell the stories, not the epic battle sequences, but that doesn't mean only younger audiences can enjoy it. Norse mythology is very interesting, and Green hasn't lost that in his book.
