Review: Norse God intro book - Can't beat it! - This is the PERFECT bedtime storybook for parents to read to kids. (after a certain level of vocab is attained). A few stories might need to be skipped for strong content, but for the most part, this is cultural gold that will fire children't imagination like nothing else. Don't kids today get enough sponge bob and thomas the train bubble-gum in their lives? These stories will give true moral and psychological challenges to the young reader, to aid in the development of a full-rounded, creative personality. That's the reason these stories were created, to prepare the young for LIFE, in its beauty and glory, and its hardships and pitfalls. The author takes the various Norse stories, and compiles them into chronological chapters. If Loki plays a trick on Thor one chapter, the next chapter, Thor is fuming about it, and it motivates his actions in the next chapter. You get a real feel for the drama and soap opera of the Gods and Heroes. Having bought the Edda, I would say, it's better to start here, then move on to the Prose Edda, which is more for the hardcore Norse Mythology enthusiast. Review: Oldie but goodie - This was probably one of the first rewrites of the Norse Myths in modern English. If I remember correctly, it was first published in the early 20th century. It is easy to understand, and has many of the most important Norse Myths. I have several books that retell their mythology, and this one is a classic. For those fascinated by Vikings and their religion, this is a must-have. Some things are oldies but goodies! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,179,240 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,428 in Comparative Religion (Books) #2,507 in Folklore & Mythology Studies #7,317 in Folklore (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 138 Reviews | ## Images ![Nordic Gods and Heroes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/9137I27fx3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Norse God intro book - Can't beat it! *by W***N on March 3, 2011* This is the PERFECT bedtime storybook for parents to read to kids.

If I remember correctly, it was first published in the early 20th century. It is easy to understand, and has many of the most important Norse Myths.

Some things are oldies but goodies! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for Children's book *by P***E on December 28, 2014* This is a good book which I believe to be accurate, but the stories are extremely simple and dry. They are easily readable by children, but are not for scholarly work as some reviewers have claimed it to be. It pretty much lays out the stories in a fairly readable fashion. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5023549-nordic-gods-and-heroes](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5023549-nordic-gods-and-heroes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
