"In the Days of Giants: A Book of Norse Tales" by Abbie Farwell Brown is an early 20th-century collection of Norse myths that vividly portrays a world of powerful gods, formidable giants, and crafty dwarfs. Beginning with the creation of the universe from fire and ice, the stories introduce Ymir, the frost giant, and Odin, who with his brothers, shapes the earth and sky from Ymir's defeat. With these themes, the unfolding narratives present a fascinating mix of creation stories, godly adventures, and moral lessons, exploring the complex relationships between gods, mortals, and mythical beings amidst the ongoing struggle between the cold realm of the giants and the warm domain of the Aesir gods.
