Book 64: Norse Mythology

Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman is a retelling of fourteen adventures (or misadventures) of the Norse gods.  The tales are told with the author speaking directly to the reader, so it may be that the audio version would be a better choice for this format reminiscent of the oral storytelling tradition.  While each story is can be read separately as a short story, the tales are also arranged chronologically so that they tell the entire story arc of the gods from creation to the final battle of Ragnarok and the start of a new age.  4 stars.
