Stories from Northern Myths

"Stories from Northern Myths" by Emilie K. Baker is a collection of stories that takes us back to the age of Norse mythology and the adventures of gods, giants, and brave heroes. It tells us how the world was created, the battles fought by the gods, and how gods and humans interacted with one another.

From Ymir's body, the gods Odin, Vile, and Ve created the earth, sea, and sky. The stories continue by showing the connections between the gods and the troubles they faced with ice giants, taking us to a place of great and interesting mythology.
