The Armchair Guide to World Mythology, Vol. 1: Norse Mythology Then and Now

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Norse mythology has fascinated readers for centuries, presenting a much darker and more complex universe than the bright world of Greek mythology. Delve deeper into the nine levels of worlds contained on the tree of life - Yggdrasil - and learn about the Gods and Goddesses and the heroes they used to fight vast wars with. Find out about the world that has influenced almost all fantasy writers today, and even writers like J.R.R. Tolkien and Wagner. Finally, see how Norse mythology continues to influence the modern world - perhaps most noticeably through heavy metal bands and the names of the days of the week.
