Publisher's Summary
The great Norse myths are woven into the fabric of our storytelling - from Tolkien, Alan Garner and Rosemary Sutcliff to Game of Thrones and Marvel Comics. They are also an inspiration for Neil Gaiman's own award-bedecked, best-selling fiction. Now he reaches back through time to the original source stories in a thrilling and vivid rendition of the great Norse tales. Gaiman's gods are thoroughly alive - irascible, visceral, playful and passionate - and the tales carry us from the beginning of everything to Ragnarök and the twilight of the gods. Galvanised by Gaiman's prose, Thor, Loki, Odin and Freya are irresistible forces for modern listeners, and the crackling, brilliant writing demands to be heard around an open fire on a freezing, starlit night.

Delightful!
The stories really begin from chapter six onwards, and then they are fantastic stories. Neil Gaiman reads them well too - very absorbing!

Marvel Comics come to life
Prior to listening the extent of my knowledge was from my 5 year old who loves all things superheroes. I really enjoyed listening to the author narrate his book. The format of each story in its' own chapter was clever and made it easier to absorb. I did struggle initially with understanding and remembering names but by the end I could piece them together from prior chapters. I really love it when you learn about the background to something you've never really thought about before, like how Thor's hammer, Mjölnir came to be. Fascinating insight to a subject matter I had no prior knowledge of.
