and justice. Many epic battles contribute to the myths excitement. The battles are certainly
violent (fought with spears and magical weapons), but the violence is more often than
not directed toward giants and other mythological creatures. The Norse gods do not live
monogamous lives (the enclosed family tree will help you sort it all out), but the gods and
goddesses many children are well cared for and loved. The Norse myths are some of the
most engaging and memorable stories to read together. While the myths can be read out of
order, they make better sense if you read them beginning to end. We hope you enjoy them.

menacing dragons? If you said yes, youll love Norse mythology.
In this book, we visit lands of ice and fire, witness epic battles,

You see a jagged bolt of fire flash through the sky during a storm. Youre scared, because
no one can explain what it is. The science is not understood yet. Lightning, thunder, and
rain are all mysterious. Then someone tells a story about the super-strong, red-haired

of fire makes sense. His hammer caused that bolt of light. The story gives you courage.
Thats what many myths aim to do.
Norse myths. Why? Norse myths are filled with edge-of-your seat action and fascinating
characters. Norse gods act like the people you know: Odin is like your wise teacher; Loki
is like your mischievous friend, dragging you into trouble; and Thor is like your hot
tempered uncle who always has your back. But most of all, a really good story is a really
good storyno matter if it was told thousands of years ago or today. And the Norse
myths are really good stories!

also known as Vikings . The
Vikings came from three modern

Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
Grouped together, these countries
are called Scandinavia .
Very little of Scandinavias soil was good for farming
and there wasnt enough food to feed all the people,
so the Vikings traveled to Iceland, Greenland, Britain,
France, Russiaand even America. They landed in
North America about 500 years before Christopher
Columbus. They traveled farther than any European

but they also celebrated storytellers. Scandinavian
winters were bitterly cold and lonely, and the skies
stayed dark for months. It was the perfect weather
to sit around a cozy fire in a big hall and tell tales.
Norse myths were passed
on by word of mouth. Many
myths were told in the form
of poems, which helped
storytellers remember them.
