Stories From Ancient Civilisations: The Vikings

This series has recently been published in paperback form which is so much more 'cool' in appearance than the schoolish look of the previous standard, slim, hardbacks. Other myths in the series are from Africa, Egypt, Greece, India and Rome. This cover shows a wildly red-haired warrior holding aloft a hammer-like weapon. Inside are nine episodes of Norse origin, three of these featuring Thor and giants. The texts are brief but effective and while battle combats occur in some tales the core is of heroes and gods thrown against the fearful extreme forces of nature and the physical world. Bee Wiley's exotic figures and rich colours give it all a suitably other-worldly emphasis.
