Introducing an instant classic--master storyteller Neil Gaiman presents a dazzling version of the great Norse myths.

Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people. Gaiman stays true to the myths while vividly reincarnating Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki, the son of a giant, a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. From Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerges the gods with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to dupe others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.

Editorial Review

Champion storyteller Neil Gaiman presents his beautifully told interpretation of the Norse myths.

Bestselling fantasy author Neil Gaiman is widely acclaimed for his detailed storytelling, vivid prose, and wonderfully imaginative worldbuilding. His fiction and fairy tales feature the likes of Coraline, The Graveyard Book, American Gods and The Sandman series. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman presents his creative take on the great Norse myths.

For his bold and vibrant retelling of classic Norse legends, Gaiman immerses listeners in the fantastical world of gods, dwarves, deities, giants and Vikings. This audiobook, which Gaiman aptly narrates himself, features the story of Asgard and Ragnarok, a tale that foretold the world’s destruction and death of Norse gods. You’ll also hear the stories of the god Odin; Thor, Odin’s son who is wildly strong and associated with his hammer, most famously referred to as Thor’s Hammer; and Loki, a trickster and manipulative god.

Norse Mythology is a wonderfully modern take on a tale as old as time itself. If you’re a fan of Marvel’s Thor and want a different take on the Norse myth, or if you’re simply a fan of rich and fantastical storytelling, listen to the Norse Mythology audiobook.

I've always been a huge fan of Gaiman, but hadn't yet read this book. When I mentioned to a friend about wanting to learn more about the mythology they suggested this. It's an excellent primer, and expertly told in easy to understand stories. It was so entertaining, and Gaiman really delivers as the narrator.

Didn't want it to end

Though short, this is a fantastic book for anyone interested in learning about Norse Mythology or storytelling in general. Neil Gaiman brings his oratory talents to another smartly written tale.

Definitely worth your time and money. HOWEVER!!! If you haven't purchased and listened to Gaiman's "The Ocean at the End of the Lane", DO THAT NOW. By far is most arresting work and read beautifully and heart-breakingly by the author.
