In a dramatic companion volume to Norse Myths, a Carnegie Medal winner revisits an ancient world of magic, mythology, and mountain trolls.

Step back into a sweeping landscape of green glades and glaciers where dwarves, frost giants, and ghosts roam and where gods and goddesses work their magic for Middle Earth, sometimes crossing the great rainbow bridge to come to the aid of humans. Five gripping new tales by Kevin Crossley-Holland plumb Norse mythology as never before, while Jeffrey Alan Love’s illustrations give the epic figures bold new life. Eerie, lyrical, and arresting, this must-have companion book to Norse Myths: Tales of Odin, Thor, and Loki is the ideal gift for fantasy and mythology fans as well as newcomers to Viking lore.

Hazel ★★★★★

The landscapes feel so real I half expected to smell pine needles while reading. The mountain trolls are genuinely unsettling but also oddly human. This companion to the Norse Myths book is even better than the first.

Jacob K. ★★★★★

I was completely drawn in by the vivid descriptions of the green glades and icy glaciers — it felt like stepping into another world. The book's layout and full-page illustrations make the myths feel immediate and alive. A beautiful, absorbing read from start to finish.

Sebastian F. ★★★★★

The way this volume weaves the mythology with the harsh reality of mountain trolls really pulled me in. I couldn’t put it down once I started the chapter on the green glades.
