Synopsis
No' 1 Sunday Times Bestseller.
The great Norse myths, which have inspired so much of modern fiction, are dazzlingly retold by Neil Gaiman.
Tales of dwarfs and frost giants, of treasure and magic, and of Asgard, home to the gods: Odin the all-father, highest and oldest of the Aesir; his mighty son Thor, whose hammer Mjollnir makes the mountain giants tremble ; Loki, wily and handsome, reliably unreliable in his lusts; and Freya, more beautiful than the sun or the moon, who spurns those who seek to control her.
"As I retold these myths, I tried to imagine myself a long time ago, in the lands where these stories were first told, during the long winter nights perhaps, under the glow of the northern lights or sitting outside in the small hours, awake in the unending daylight of midsummer." - Neil Gaiman.
From the dawn of the world to the twilight of the gods, this is a thrilling, vivid retelling of the Norse myths from the award-winning, bestselling Neil Gaiman.

External Reviews
'Brilliant . . . Somehow he brings us close to this world of mountains and cataracts, monsters and elves.' - The Sunday Times.
'It's virtually impossible to read more than ten words by Neil Gaiman and not wish he would tell you the rest of the story . . . The halls of Valhalla have been crying out for Gaiman to tell their stories to a new audience. Hopefully this collection will be just the beginning.' - The Observer.
'There have been countless retellings of the Norse myths, but few that give them the everyday immediacy of Neil Gaiman's wry, punchy phrasing and delivery.' - The Times.
'Gaiman retells the Norse sagas in his own lucid, laid-back style, teasing out the humour and absurdity inherent in the source material.' - Financial Times.
'Beautifully told and a lot of fun.' - Mail on Sunday.
'His work draws you in and eats you up with new worlds and ideas.' - Metro.
