Summary: Please make this book available again -- and affordable!
Review: This is by far the best children's book on record for Norse mythology. I loved it as a child and have recently searched for a copy to buy -- but can't do the over-[$$$]prices for the rare book thing! Please, Mr. Publisher-who-holds-the-current-copyright-for-this-book: Make it available again in either hardback or paperback! We baby boomers would snap it up in a heartbeat!

Summary: I can't believe it's out of print
Review: This was one of my favorite books when I was growing up. I can't remember how many times I checked out this book and D'Aulaire's Greek mythology book out of the library. The illustrations were terrific and 20 years later I still remember them. It really is a crime that the book is out of print.

Summary: A treasure!
Review: Wow ~ I always knew this was an amazing book...it was read & re-read by myself & my siblings for many, many years until I believe the copy we owned literally fell apart! When a friend of mine was clearing out her old children's books & gave them to my then-young son about 10 years ago, I was so pleased to see that "Norse Gods & Giants" was among one of the many dusty, gently worn books in the bunch. I am not sure who has enjoyed this book more -my son, my husband or myself! The vivid, dramatic illustrations really make the stories come to life! I thought of buying a copy as a gift for my young niece, but see that it is out of print & the prices for used copies seem astronomical....! I don't know that I could bare to part with the copy my friend gave us a decade ago --especially since I realize now that it is a first edition handcover copy published in 1967 --! It's a wonderful treasure of a book that will entise & excite the imagination of young & old. I hope it will be put back into print so it can become available again at a reasonable price.
