A lot of the information is the same as what I've gotten from the Prose and Poetic Eddas, with a few exceptions. It's important to remember that the original printing of this book was for 1909 and some things have probably been proven untrue or dismissed in that time, but I found 95% of it to be an accurate and well written account (so far as my own knowledge goes). Aside from the text, the book is GORGEOUS. It's faux leather hard cover with gold embossing, a ribbon bookmark, gold edged pages and is full of black and white art. It's the most beautiful book I own. 5/5 would buy again. I'm not a scholar of Norse Mythology but I loved this book.

This book is terribly outdated, and skews toward Christianity more often than not, but is a good primer for someone who doesn't know where to start with Norse mythology. It lays out all the gods, discussing their stories and how they connect to one another. It should be taken with a grain of salt, like many other books from this time, and should definitely not be treated as any scholarly source. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
