Now back in print after more than twenty years, D’Aulaires’ Book of Norse Myths remains one of the most beloved introductions to Norse legend for young readers and classrooms.
With their signature full‑color lithographs and clear, engaging storytelling, Ingri and Edgar Parin D’Aulaire guide children into the vivid world of the Norse gods.
Inside, readers will meet:
- Odin, the wise All‑Father
- Thor, the mighty Thunder‑god and the tale of his stolen hammer
- Loki, the clever and unpredictable trickster
- Bragi, god of poetry
- The Valkyries, choosers of the slain
- Giants, heroes, creatures, and the great drama of Ragnarök
The D’Aulaires’ illustrations capture the stark beauty of the Northern landscape—glaciers, mountains, forests, and the shimmering halls of Asgard—while the stories introduce children to the foundational myths of the Norse world.
