Children of Odin: The Book of Northern Myths

Rating:
Summary: Makes for casual reading
Review: If you want details, you're not going to find them here. But here you WILL find connected, flowing storytelling and a sense of BEING there when stuff happens. You won't find drama and excitement here.

Summary: My review of one of the best books i've seen.
Review: This book is definatly one of the best books i've seen. The tales of Odin, and the other Norse gods, has never been told in a more imaginative way (in my opinion, of course). The stories were intriging and filled with lush discriptions. If you like mythology, Norse or other, then this book is a must have!!

Rating:
Summary: Lively, entertaining
Review: This book is different than many mythology texts, it is a good read. The stories are more like stories, and they carry on from one story or chapter to the next. It holds the attention.

Rating:
Summary: Fantastic Storytelling
Review: This book was (and still is) one of my childhood favorties. As I was growing up I found most texts boring and lost interest in mythology books that concentrated on being specific and complex. I stumbled upon this book in my Junior High library and was instantly hooked. It is full of wonderfully told stories that constantly entertain while providing an imaginative way of getting the stories' points across. It is a great book for children and I would suggest it for parents too

Summary: Odin's BEST
Review: You will find not only Norse myths in this book, but Teutonic tales as well. The drawings are incredible, as in all children's books. Adults will not be disappointed with this one, and children will be pleased to hear the exciting stories within. A MUST have for Norse mythology book collectors. An oldie but GOODIE! Classic and captivating. What else can I say? . . . I'm buying another one incase I lose my present copy-THAT IS HOW GOOD IT IS! I also reccomend My Viking Book by Ruth Harshaw. Hard to find and quite old, but it is THE best children's book EVER! Don't miss either of them.
