“An awe-inspiring work of reconstruction” – The Penguin Book of Norse Myths by Kevin Crossley-Holland

"There are other books on Norse Myths, but possibly none quite as thorough as this one. Kevin Crossley-Holland is a poet and translator and for this edition has apparently gone right to the source, translating and piecing together fragments of original manuscripts to attempt a complete reconstruction. Somewhere between a story book and a reference book, the detailed notes section is only slightly shorter than the part dedicated to the myths themselves..." - Lucy Chatburn reviews The Penguin Book of Norse Myths by Kevin Crossley-Holland
