About this listen

A full-cast dramatisation of Neil Gaiman's magical retellings of the Norse myths, inviting us into a world of gods and monsters, tricks and trust, fiery endings and new beginnings

Winner of The London Book Fair CAMEO Award 2020 for Book to Audio adaptation.

'And the game begins anew…'

Meet the trickster god Loki and his astonishing children – the giant wolf Fenrir, Jormungundr the snake that encircles the world, and Hel, the little girl who grows up to be Queen of the dead. Here, too, is Odin the all-father, who sacrificed his eye to see the future; Thor the thunderer, who defends Asgard with his fearsome strength and mighty hammer; and Freya the understandably angry, most beautiful of the gods and always being gambled for by unwanted suitors.

From the beginning of the universe in fire and ice, to the very end of the world, Ragnarok, these enthralling tales of gods, goddesses, dwarves and giants bring the ancient myths to vigorous life.

Diana Rigg, Derek Jacobi, Colin Morgan, Natalie Dormer and Neil Gaiman himself are among the stellar cast in these spellbinding stories of old betrayals – and new hope.

Neil Gaiman has masterfully retold the Norse Saga of the creation of this time and its end, in such a way the travelling bards and audiences of old would have applauded. The cast, equally are amongst the stars in their lively renditions of who's who. Thoroughly enjoyable, I would gladly have listened to hours more, but alas, that is all for this realm..... for now.

The beginning, Midgaard and the End.

I think it needs to be longer or in a series! Great performance from the diverse cast!

Very good performance but too short

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This was a very short adaptation which, while having higher production value, is outshone by other performances of the same material.

Quite short
