Book excerpt: Herein are 24 illustrated easy-to-read Norse and Viking legends, including the Song of the Valkyries, rewritten with young adults in mind. Here you will find the legends of the Norse and Viking inhabitants of Asgard – Odin, Freya, Thor, Loki, Heimdall, Baldur and many others. These are the legends of the actions and feats of these high-dwellers before time itself had begun. These legends also give valuable background to the Marvel movies of Odin, Thor, Loki, Heimdall, Sif and others which will give you the reader more understanding about how the legends of Thor, Loki and other Scandinavian legends came to be. But do not be put off - these are the contemporary versions of these legends and stories re-written with young adults in mind, and not the heavy, hard to understand versions which academics would revel in. The legends in this volume are: I the beginning II. Yggdrasil III odin at the well of wisdom IV odin and the all-wise giant V the stolen wine part i. VI the stolen wine part ii VII. Loke’s theft VIII thor’s hammer XI the theft of the hammer XII the finding of the hammer XIII the apples of life Parts I & II XV loke’s wolf XVI the fenris wolf XVII defeat of hrungner XVIII thor and skrymer XIX thor and the utgard-king XX thor and the midgard serpent The Valkyries’ song XXI the dying baldur XXII the punishment of loke XXIII the darkness that fell on asgard This volume also includes a vocabulary which gives the spelling and pronunciations of the names of the characters in the legends. So, we invite you to curl up with these illustrated, ancient Northern legends and immerse yourself in the tales and lore of yesteryear. ---------------------------- KEYWORDS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, Legends of Norseland, the beginning, yggdrasil, ygdrasil, odin, well of wisdom, all-wise giant, stolen wine, loki, loke’s theft, thor, hammer, Sleipnir, theft of the hammer, finding of the hammer, apples of life, loke’s wolf, fenris wolf, defeat of hrungner, thor and skrymer, thor and the utgard-king, thor and the midgard serpent, valkyries’ song, dying baldur, punishment of loke, darkness that fell on Asgard, Norse, Viking, inhabitants of Asgard, Freya, Heimdall, Frigg, Gold-fax,Hrungner, horse, Hödor, Hodor, Idun, Apples of Youth, Jötunheim, Jotunheim, Mídgard, abode of men, Magne, Norn, Three fates, three young women, Ragnarok, Twilight of the gods, Sif, Thunder-god, Valhalla
