Scandinavian Myths for Kids

How to turn blood into sea water and how to build walls from eyelids? Where did the sound of cat steps go and when is a ribbon stronger than a chain? What is the price of Odin's wisdom and who writes bad poetry? How many troubles did the insidious Loki bring to the Aesir and how many feats did the brave Thor perform?
The book from the new illustrated series "Myths for Children" will tell about the beliefs of the ancient northerners: the sources of legends, the fascinating myths of Scandinavia - from the creation of the world to the Twilight of the Gods - and their legacy in modern culture.
Journalist, author of the popular podcasts "Myths", "Gloomy Tales" and "Laura Palna's Diaries" Dmitry Lebedev tells a fascinating story about mythological consciousness, the adventures of gods and heroes, the Elder and Younger Edda and the reflection of Scandinavian myths in literature and modern culture.
Journey to the lands of Asgard and Midgard - just beware the sweet talk of the god of deceit.
