Norse Mythology: Neil Gaiman.

I am a huge fan of mythology and each book I read about it I find highly enjoyable and this book is no exception.

I didn’t know much detail about Norse myths before I read this (to be honest, my knowledge of Norse mythology is pretty much based on the Thor movies), so most of these stories were new to me.

This books includes a collection of some of the best Norse myths like Kvasir's mead and Thor's adventures with the giant Utgard. Even better, they’re in perfect chronological order, starting with creation and ending with the Norse doomsday, Ragnarok.

It explains how Einherjar are created, how Ragnarok will happen and end, how the gods depend on Idun's apples of immortality and what happens when they don’t have them and we learn of Loki’s three monstrous children.

I haven’t read any of books by this author, but these stories were really well written and made sense of all the complicated lore. I recommend this book to any history lover or just anyone who likes reading about this stuff. I find reading about the things people used to believe in entertaining and interesting.
