Customer Reviews

First class (and highly affordable) Norse Mythology book!

Professor R.I. Page is one of the foremost runologists and Norse scholars today. Anything he writes is a "must buy!" for me. His Norse Mythology book, for its size, is spot-on accurate (from extant sources, etc.) and is not New Age or of indeterminate scholarship. Prof. Page does it right. I have recommended this book many times to folks, and would rate it as one of the best books on Norse myth to come out in recent years. It is certainly reasonably priced, which makes it all the more appealing to those with small budgets. If you're seriously interested in Norse mythology, go buy this book! It is certainly worth it!
