A Book of Norse Tales: In the Days of Giants - Viking Mythology

This book is made of the stories told by the Northern folk,—the people who live in the land of the midnight sun, where summer is green and pleasant, but winter is a terrible time of cold and gloom; where rocky mountains tower like huge giants, over whose heads the thunder rolls and crashes, and under whose feet are mines of precious metals. Therefore you will find the tales full of giants and dwarfs,—spirits of the cold mountains and dark caverns.This classic collection of norse myths was originally published in1902 and would make a great addition to any fairy tale collection or children's bookshelf. Stories in this volume include: 'How Odin Lost His Eye', 'The Magic Apples', 'The Dwarf's Gifts', 'Loki's Children', 'The Quest of the Hammer', 'The Giantess Who Would Not', 'Thor's Visit to the Giants', 'Thor's Duel', 'Balder and the Mistletoe', 'The Punishment of Loki' and others.
