The Norse myths are some of the oldest and most famous stories in the world. This exciting new comic book collection will be the perfect introduction to this ancient world - containing six tales full of gods, dwarves, magic and adventure.
Readers will discover how Odin created the Universe, meet the mischievous trickster Loki, and learn how Thor came to possess his mighty hammer. Each myth is told in engaging modern language, which is easy for children to understand yet still retains the humour and drama of the original tales.
As you journey back to the dawn of time, you'll meet an amazing array of glorious gods and mythical creatures - SPOILER ALERT: there are LOTS of giants - whilst non-fiction spreads will help you learn more about Viking raiders, dramatic funerals, and the mighty tree Yggdrasil at the centre of the Universe.
With funny, all-action illustrations by Seaerra Miller, this retelling of the Norse myths will will educate and entertain readers of all ages.
