Alice's book list on Norse myths and legends
Why did Alice love this book?
This is a vigorous retelling of the last battle of the Norse gods and their enemies, how the gods tried to avert their doom, how they first met those who would kill almost all of them, and what happened after all the slaughter and destruction. The book has the size and format of a typical picture storybook but its powerful illustrations of threat and attack make it more suitable for an older audience.
1 author picked Doom of the Gods as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.
Retells the main stories from the Norse legends, in a new larger format for this series.
