THE CHILDREN OF ODIN

Master storyteller Padraic Colum's rich musical voice captures all the magic and majesty of the Norse sagas in his retellings of the adventures of the gods and goddesses who lived in the Northern paradise of Asgard before the dawn of history. Here are the matchless tales of All-Father Odin who crosses the Rainbow Bridge to walk among men in Midgard and sacrifices his right eye to drink from the Well of Wisdom; of Thor whose mighty hammer defends Asgard; of Loki whose mischievous cunning leads him to treachery against the gods; of giants dragons dwarfs and Valkyries; and of the terrible last battle that destroyed their world.
