The Heroes of Asgard: Tales from Scandinavian Mythology

"The Heroes of Asgard: Tales from Scandinavian Mythology" by Annie Keary is a collection of enchanting stories from the early 1900s that take you into the world of Norse mythology and what people believed in long ago. You'll meet powerful characters like Odin, Thor, and Loki, and follow them on epic adventures through different realms filled with gods, giants, and magical creatures. The book starts by explaining why these myths are important for understanding the old Scandinavian religion and how they were passed down through storytelling before being written down, giving us a peek into a world filled with amazing events and lessons. The first part shows how everything began, like how the universe was created, how the gods appeared, and how Asgard, their home in the sky, was built. Odin is shown as the main leader of the gods, always battling against the giants, which shows us important ideas about being brave and what is meant to happen.
