Book SynopsisTrade Review"In these accessible, retold tales, fantasy is odd, and real, and dire." -- Ethan Gilsdorf - Boston Globe"Weaving together ancient Norse mythology with 21st-century sensibility, Gaiman's storytelling once again recreates an entire genre for the modern reader." -- Chelsea Hassler - Newsweek"Evocative and lyrical.… It is quite simply a breathtaking novel that is as matchless as the Norse gods themselves." -- Alex Brown - Tor"Norse Mythology introduces readers to a deeper world, rooted in the traditions of northern story telling. And what most of us know of Norse mythology only scratches the surface.… Gaiman’s book serves as a welcome point of entry to a new generation of readers." -- Bill Jones - A.V. Club"Who else but Neil Gaiman could become an accomplice of the gods, using the sorcery of words to make their stories new? The author of American Gods transforms Norse myths into addictive reading for young and old, with high-wattage retellings that preserve the monumental grandeur of the Nordic universe but also turn it into a world that is up close and personal, full of antic wit and dark intrigue." -- Maria Tatar, translator and editor of The Annotated Brothers Grimm"A lively, funny, and very human rendition of Thor the thunder god, his father Odin, and the dark-hearted trickster Loki (plus countless other gods and monsters)." -- Petra Mayer - NPR"In Norse Mythology, Gaiman brings voice to the old myths so viscerally that listening to the audiobook every night for a week, I thought my bedroom might explode into Valhalla. The entire Norse pantheon, including dwarves and giants and demons, plays out as vividly as a novel or film. Honestly I may have to order a breastplate of some sort. As Gaiman puts it in the introduction, the stories feel like a journey from the ice and fire that created the world to the fire and ice that end it." -- Lidia Yuknavitch - New York Times Book Review"A clear, continuous narrative, with big scenes the same as they always were but with emotional pointers added." -- Tom Shippey - The Wall Street Journal"Gaiman has such a profound understanding of the conflicts of Odin, Thor, Loki, and other gods that he revitalizes them through his imaginative depictions. His interpretation of major Norse myths will draw readers into a strange realm that will dazzle and baffle and lead to a new appreciation of Norse mythology." -- Jack Zipes, editor of The Norton Anthology of Children’s Literature"Gaiman’s prose is bright and fluid, his storytelling clear and cogent.… Norse Mythology ably captures the essence of a myth cycle that deserves to be better known, in an edition likely to speak to readers of all ages." -- Michael Berry - San Francisco Chronicle

Book SynopsisIntroducing an instant classic—master storyteller Neil Gaiman presents a dazzling version of the great Norse myths.Trade Review"Taking a few modern liberties with the stories, Gaiman’s Norse Mythology delights in the gods’ petty machinations as much as their heroics. In these accessible, retold tales, fantasy is odd, and real, and dire." -- Ethan Gilsdorf - The Boston Globe"No contemporary fiction writer gets more of his power from the mythological tradition than Neil Gaiman. . . . As always, Gaiman’s a charming raconteur . . . [and he] recognizes a ripping yarn when he sees one." -- Douglas Wolk - Los Angeles Times"A gripping, suspenseful and quite wonderful reworking of these famous tales. Once you fall into the rhythm of its glinting prose, you will happily read on and on, in thrall to Gaiman’s skillful storytelling." -- Michael Dirda - Washington Post"Weaving together ancient Norse mythology with 21st-century sensibility, Gaiman's storytelling once again recreates an entire genre for the modern reader." -- Newsweek"In reinterpreting the tales so faithfully and with such abundant joy, Gaiman assumes the role of fireside bard, inviting us to sit close on a chilly winter’s night and chuckle and wonder along with him." -- James Lovegrove - Financial Times"Gaiman’s masterful storytelling transcends our most vivid dreams, exploring ancient territory from a fantastically fresh perspective. . . . [and inviting us] to listen to stories in the same way we would as children: engrossed and enraptured by the magic of myth. . . . [Norse Mythology] will breathe new life into these old gods, reminding us of the power that great storytelling still holds over us all." -- Dani Hedlund - F(r)iction"Mr. Gaiman milks [the Norse gods’ hijinks] for all their humor and incongruity, very much in the spirit of the originals. . . . [He] has produced . . . a clear, continuous narrative, with big scenes the same as they always were but with emotional pointers added." -- Tom Shippey - The Wall Street Journal"Remarkable. . . . Gaiman has provided an enchanting contemporary interpretation of the Viking ethos." -- Lisa L. Hannett - The Atlantic
