Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman

A few weeks ago, I was in my parents’ courtyard on a really beautiful, sunny afternoon. Everything was warm, bright, and quiet, and all I wanted to do was find a really lovely book with a good story that wasn’t too serious or heavy. I stumbled upon Neil Gaiman’s ‘Norse Mythology’ and it turned out to be perfect.

Gaiman is a wonderful storyteller and boils the many strange stories of Norse mythology down to some choice tales that he tells with humor and whimsy. If you already know quite a bit about the subject, this may not be the book for you. But, if like me, you are relatively unfamiliar, this is the perfect introduction.

For the most part, it reads like several stories that are linked but happening independently of one another, so it’s really easy to read a chapter and feel like you’ve gotten an awesome short story out of it.

Perfect for leisurely Sunday afternoons in the sunshine.

Happy reading!
