A review by vertellerpaul
Sagas of the Norsemen: Viking and German Myth by Time-Life Books, Jacqueline Simpson, Loren Auerbach

3.0

A quick and easy path into the basics of Norse myth, in this case a curious but effective combination of Viking, Germanic and English mythology. Nicely illustrated, although the editors were clearly struggling to link the pictures to the stories. Because the iconography rarely links clearly to any story, a lot of assumptions had to be made and the captions contain a lot of “might”s and “could”s.
This book should be read as an invitation to delve deeper into the rich world of Northern European mythology.
