Treasury of Norse Mythology: Stories of Intrigue, Trickery, Love, and Revenge (National Geographic Treasuries)

Simply LOVE IT! The binding, the artwork, the tales, the quality of the paper.. every detail of this book makes it wonderful! I was looking for a book like this since it's perfect for children. It makes it fun for them to read. The only thing is that some of the vocabulary is a bit advance so you will definitely need to read it to them. I bought also the Greek and Egyptian mythology and will definitely buy the Tales from the Arabian Night too. Click the button if this review helped you at all. :)

Beautiful book,at a good price. Pages thick & images vibrant.

Our 9 year old daughter got into Mythology having read Edith Wharton's "Mythology." We bought her several of these books, which were cheaper on Amazon than at Costco. The pictures which fill full pages throughout the entire book on every page are beautiful. This book is not only for reading about mythology but teaches children to examine the art as well as the written word, something we have lost sight of.

I bought this book for my 11-year-old grandson who is an honors student studying ancient mythologies and he enjoyed it. I've also bought the Greek Mythology and Egyptian Mythology books by Napoli in this National Geographic series for him as well. The books are well done (as all National Geographic products are) and stimulated his interest in learning more. The amazon online price was roughly half of what I paid for one of the other volumes (with tax) at Barnes and Noble and shipping was free since I could combine it with other purchases, so I was very happy about that! As usual, the amazon experience was positive. Delivery was fast and shipping was better than adequate.

My daughter loved this book! We pre-ordered it, and she was through it in one day, then reported it was wonderful, but it was "too short!" and "too many gods, not enough monsters and mythical creatures..." We like the whole series.

This book easily is designed for the coffee table as well as a story book I would use to read to my children. The pages are well designed and illustrated, although I was not initially attracted to the artwork, being very Greek in it's design. It gives a very well laid out outline of the myths, from creation to Ragnarok, with snippets of historical facts, and brief captions from previous pages to keep the reader on track on how it relates to the current story.

He loved it & found text easy to read. His dad is of Norwegian descent so the stories kind of bonded them.

All the three books in this series TREASURY OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY TREASURY OF EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY TREASURY OF NORSE MYTHOLOGY are the best. The trilogy is for all age groups and is sure to enthrall the readers no matter their age. The artwork and the content are very amazing and the trilogy does not disappoints it's readers. The trilogy is so amazing and awesome and beautiful that you will not be content with only one book in the trilogy but go for all three. The price is also appropriate.

My nephew was ery happy

I absolutely loved this book. I had bought it for my child to learn and enjoy the mythologies that we try to express when we participate in Historical Reenactments, and I couldn't have asked for a better reference. Not only did they enjoy it, but each family member had taken the time to read it for themselves for their own enjoyment. The art is beautiful and brings the stories to life. I like how the book covers the basic accepted story line of each of the characters in Norse Mythology and inspires further reading to learn the different interpretations that have been made about them. As for comments that say the author's interpretation of the Gods/Goddesses is in a negative light, as much as that argument can be made, the old tellings show that they are flawed characters that are not perfect, and that is not shied away from in this book, so keep that in mind. As a fan of Celtic Mythology, I really hope that Donna Jo Napoli and Christina Balit team up together to make an equivalent Treasury about Celtic Mythology. I'd pre-order that just as I did with this one with great anticipation that is well deserved.

Lots of great illustrations and stories

Le encantó a mi hijo de 5 años
