Story
Most people have heard of the Celts - the elusive, ancient tribal people who resided in present-day England, Ireland, Scotland and France. Paradoxically characterized as both barbaric and innocent, the Celts appeal to the modern world as a symbol of a bygone era, a world destroyed by the ambition of empire and the spread of Christianity throughout Western Europe. Despite the pervasive cultural and literary influence of the Celts, shockingly little is known of their way of life and beliefs, because very few records of their stories exist.

Story
Eight hundred years ago, an heir to the Vikings collected their myths and wrote them down. Here are those original tales of Odin and Thor, magic and might, presented for your listening enjoyment. The Prose Edda (also known as Snorri's Edda or The Younger Edda) is a manual of poetics written by Snorri Sturluson around the year 1220. In it, Snorri compiled the old myths and legends of the Norsemen, in order that poets from his time might draw on these stories to keep the Icelandic-Viking heritage alive.

Jarring reading for an interesting subject.
Narration is so bad I'm going to try to get a refund. The pronunciation (or pronunsayshun as the narrator says it) of words is difficult to listen to (could be a regional American accent but I don't know, all the vowels are over pronounced) and the reading is poorly cut with inconsistent volume. Only gave story 3 stars because it's so hard to absorb any info. Listening to her butcher Yggdrasil (Yewgdrasih[l] for the Danes or Igdrasih for the Norwegians NOT IGdraSAHY) and the historian Tacitus (Tassitus not TACKYTOOS) was physically painful to endure. They're vowels not assault weapons.
