Unique Way to Learn Norse Mythology

I found this audiobook to be a unique, interesting, and fun way to learn the stories from Norse Mythology. Told in the manner that myths were originally passed along, the stories were engaging, easy to follow along, and definitely more entertaining than a typical history lesson.
The narrator was clear, his English accent gave the European flair to the story as well (at least to this American.)
I truly enjoyed listening to this audiobook, and hope to listen to more by this author and this narrator.

Excellent introduction to Norse Mythology

This was a great read for someone just getting into Norse mythology. The author explains the various gods, creatures, fairies, etc. with great detail. I really like how the author uses different point of views in each of the tales, along with his well researched material. This is a quick read, and leaves the reader wanting to know and learn more. Don’t miss out on this one!

A really good read/listen!

This is an amazing book that has me wanting to dive deeper into Norse mythology and history! The way the book is written brings the characters of the Norse gods to life as does the narration (the narrator is awesome as he reads Loki!).

Storytelling at its finest

Norse Mythology Simplified

What a delightful experience! For me this audiobook is the first of its kind as I allow myself to expand my horizon in this manner. Not only do I get to hear the correct pronunciation of the names i’ve struggled with, but also having it read to me, allows one to visualize the story on a different level and in my opinion, well worth the experience.

Through this book, you are invited to step into the world of Norse mythology. A world which takes place in the past and the belief systems of the people that built and lived it. As with people in today’s world, we are all looking for answers. Many of the questions and concerns of these ancient times are similar today in their nature in duality. Through myths and storytelling, we can better understand, not only the past, but also the present and look to the future. As there is more focus on this mythology at the present time, exploring this can assist us in multiple ways. Through this storytelling, we come to better understand more about not only our predecessors, but ourselves.

The author in this format takes us on a journey, first setting the stage, then diving and describing for us the history and resilience of these tribes and their beliefs. The story begins as a creation story, if you will, and in this version, from a first person narrative style. We learn the tales of Yggdrasil In a manner that, in my opinion, is more conducive to learning and would be advantageous in history lessons today. Through skillful presentation we learn of various Norse gods and goddesses and their impact on myth and traditions

Although this book speaks to days long past, we are shown how these myths and stories impact the very intricacies of human nature that still impact us today.

Enchanted

I love this book for many reasons. As soon as you begin listening you are transported to a different world of Gods and Giants. They come alive and tell you their stories through the Narrator whose voice is soothing. I highly recommend this book for those who want a deeper understanding of the legends. You won't be disappointed.
