What do you really know about the Norse gods? Have you heard of Thor, the god of thunder? What about Freya, the most celebrated goddess, or the trickster, Loki? And have you heard the tales of how Odin tore his own eye out and what happened when the world saw its final destruction in Ragnarok?

Asgard tales of Norse mythology is a vivid and vibrant adventure. We follow the Norse gods through ten colourful stories as we learn more about the lives and beliefs of our ancestors. Cartoons are combined alongside more classic illustrations and narratives, drawing us into a strange, and often frightening world. There are ghastly stories of evil deeds, sudden death, as well as more entertaining tales of mix-ups and crazy characters. It is amusing, informative and exciting.

Sofi Hjort writes in a communicative and entertaining way and the illustrations by Karl Johnsson are like nothing you have seen before. This is a book to come back to time and time again.
