by Ingri d'Aulaire & Edgar Parin d'Aulaire • Introduction by Michael Chabon

The Caldecott Medal-winning d'Aulaires once again captivate young readers with this beautifully illustrated introduction to Norse legends. Illustrations throughout depict the wondrous other world of Norse folklore and its fantastical Northern landscape. Ages 8 & up.

"(These) works, especially the books of Norse and Greek myths, were and remain crucial to me, and now to my own children. The interest in mythology that was kindled by those two bookshas endured throughout my life…The Norse book was always my favorite, though. I must have read it a dozen times at least by the time I was nine or ten. I have long been horrifiedand dismayed to see it go out of print…" —Michael Chabon
