IN THE DAYS OF GIANTS - 16 Norse legends from before time began. by Anon E. Mouse Pdf

A great read for children and great for reading around campfires! Herein you will find sixteen stories and legends of the Norse and Viking inhabitants of Asgard – Odin, Freya, Thor, Loki, Baldur and many others. These are the legends of the actions and feats of these dwellers before time itself had begun, stories which give the background to the Marvel movies of Thor, including Loki, Heimdall, Sif and others which will give you the reader more understanding about how the legends of Thor and Loki came to be. But do not be put off - these are the contemporary versions of these legends and stories written with young adults in mind, and not the heavy, hard to understand versions which academics would revel in. The volume aptly begins with The beginning of things. Thereafter you will find the stories and legends of How odin lost his eye, Kvasir's blood, The giant builder, The magic apples, Skadi's choice, The dwarf's gifts, Loki's children, The quest of the hammer, The giantess who would not, Thor's visit to the giants, Thor's fishing, Thor's duel, In the giant's house, Balder and the mistletoe and The punishment of loki. They tell of Iduna and her golden apples, Loki’s mischief making, how Thor came by his hammer, why the dwellers of Asgard fought the giants and much, much more. So, after you have downloaded this unique volume, find a comfy chair, sit back with your reader and a steaming hot beverage and be prepared to be entertained for hours. 10% of the profit for the sale of this book will be donated to charities. ========== TAGS: folklore, fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, cultural, setting, Norse, Viking, Asgard, Scandinavia, Midgard, Odin, Thor, Freya, Loki, Heimdall, Sif, inter-world, giants, beginning of things, How odin lost his eye, Kvasir's blood, giant builder, magic apples, golden apples, Iduna, Skadi's choice, dwarf's gifts, dwarves, Loki's children, quest of the hammer, giantess who would not, Thor's visit to the giants, Thor's fishing, Thor's duel, In the giant's house, Balder, mistletoe, punishment of loki

In the Days of Giants by Abbie Farwell Brown Pdf

Illustrations by E. Boyd Smith. A delightful retelling of some of the most loved and famous Norse tales-from the beginning of the world, and how Odin traded one of his eyes in exchange for wisdom, to the use of the god Kvasir's blood to create the "Mead of Poetry," and the cataclysmic intrigues with the Jotun giants. Read here of the tales of Skadi, Loki and his evil children, Thor's Quest, the dwarfs and their gifts, Balder and the mistletoe, and finally the captivity of Loki, awaiting the Ragnarok, or end of the earth. An enthralling read which will provide old and young alike with new insights into one of the most majestic European mythological story sets. "This book is made of the stories told by the Northern folk, -the people who live in the land of the midnight sun, where summer is green and pleasant, but winter is a terrible time of cold and gloom; where rocky mountains tower like huge giants, over whose heads the thunder rolls and crashes, and under whose feet are mines of precious metals. Therefore you will find the tales full of giants and dwarfs, -spirits of the cold mountains and dark caverns." About the author: Abbie Farwell Brown (1871-1927) was an American author who wrote over half a dozen works of mythology and poetry for adults and children. She also wrote the famous On the Trail song which became the official song of the Girl Scouts of the USA. She also edited the 20-volume "Young Folks Library" and was president of the New England Poetry Club before her untimely death at the age of 55 from cancer.
