Norse Mythology

by Neil Gaiman

First published 2019

The mighty Odin, the thunderous Thor, and the trickster Loki roam the nine realms of Norse mythology in this spellbinding saga. When Thor's hammer is stolen, he must cross-dress to reclaim it. As the gods' rivalries erupt, their epic feats and humorous foibles build to a climactic Ragnarok - the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new world. Gaiman's deft prose breathes pungent life into these primeval myths, blending humor, pathos, and the lore of the ancients.
