D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths by Michael Chabon, Ingri d'Aulaire, Edgar Parin d'Aulaire

5.0

One of my favorite books as a child was D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths. I adored the illustrations and the awesome stories of times long ago. I didn't encounter this volume of myth interpretations until I was an adult, after I had already read the Eddas on which these tales are based. The illustrations are just as stunning as those in the collection of Greek myths - as I was reading this book at work, everyone stopped by to look over my shoulder. This book is a treasure for children and a must-have for any children's library. It gives a the reader a fantastical journey into the nine worlds of the ancient Norse, providing readers with a background in a mythology that has greatly influenced literature and other media over the ages.
