In Norse Mythology there are fifteen stories filled with gods and goddesses, magic and mischief, and mythical creatures. And it didn’t take me long to get drawn into this world, discovering new characters and the tales which have inspired those stories that are popular today. I must confess to having very little prior knowledge of Norse mythology, as aside from Thor and Loki I hadn’t previously familiarised myself with this world so I was interested to find out more. ‘Before the beginning there was nothing – no earth, no heavens, no stars, no sky: only the mist world, formless and shapeless, and the fire world, always burning.’ In Norse Mythology, Neil Gaiman retells some of the great Norse myths, and I thought this would be the perfect read to enjoy on a cold winters night! My latest read was another book I have been meaning to read for a while from an author whose work I have loved previously.
