Long before Thor, Loki, and Odin were Marvel Universe characters, they were worshipped by the people of the Viking Age. Norse mythology is rich with gods, goddesses, elves, dwarves, giants and other spiritual beings that continue to appear in both children’s books and scholarly studies of Viking history and culture. This mythology holds that the world was created after Odin and his brothers slew the Ymir the Frost Giant and will end when the Giants defeat Odon’s forces in battle. While awaiting this doom, the greatest activity of gods and men alike is war, and death on the battlefield is the only way to enter Valhalla, the paradise for warriors.
By the time the Viking Era ended in 1066, Christianity was firmly entrenched in Europe and the old shrines and rites were torn down and forgotten. Although no longer a reigning belief system, Norse mythology was so colorful that it continued to fascinate people centuries later and even inspired a superhero or two!
This collection contains over 117 rare books that cover every aspect of Norse mythology and Viking history. You’ll read about Asgard and the Norse heroes, the death of Balder and punishment of Loki, and the alleged Norse discovery of America. Prepare to be entertained! Take a look at the sample pages taken from just some of these books in the collection.
