Reading this edition

The Children of Odin retells Norse stories for a later reading audience. It offers a narrative route into the material, but the retelling should be compared with the Eddas when tracing an individual claim.

What to read for

An accessible sequence of stories and characters before returning to the earlier sources.

Keep the source in view
