This illustrated edition retains Willy Pogany's original drawings.
Master storyteller Padraic Colum's rich, musical voice captures all
the magic and majesty of the Norse sagas in his retellings of the
adventures of the gods and goddesses who lived in the Northern
paradise of Asgard before the dawn of history. Here are the
matchless tales of All-Father Odin, who crosses the Rainbow Bridge
to walk among men in Midgard and sacrifices his right eye to drink
from the Well of Wisdom; of Thor, whose mighty hammer defends
Asgard; of Loki, whose mischievous cunning leads him to treachery
against the gods; of giants, dragons, dwarfs and Valkyries; and of
the terrible last battle that destroyed their world. These ancient
stories from Northern Europe, which make up one of the great myth
cycles of Western civilization, spring to life in The Children of
Odin. The late Padraic Colum was a poet, playwright, founder of the
Irish Review and a leader of the Irish Renaissance, but he is
perhaps best known today for his outstanding books for children. He
was awarded the Regina Medal in 1961 for his "distinguished
contribution to children's literature," honoring works like The
Children's Homer, The Golden Fleece (a Newbery Honor Book), The
Arabian Nights, The King of Ireland's Son and Roofs of Gold.
