Biographical note
Neil Gaiman has written highly acclaimed books for children and adults and is the first author to have won the Carnegie and Newbery Medals for the same work – The Graveyard Book. Several of his works have been adapted for film and television, including the breakaway hit Amazon Prime series Good Omens, as well as American Gods, Coraline and The Sandman, which was based on his multimillion-selling graphic-novel series.
Levi Pinfold has been drawing from his imagination for as long as he can remember. He has published many acclaimed books and is a winner of the prestigious CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal. Born in the Forest of Dean, he has somehow found himself living in Queensland, Australia. He likes paintings, books, music and some cats.
It’s virtually impossible to read more than ten words by Neil Gaiman and not wish he would tell you the rest of the story … <b>The halls of Valhalla have been crying out for Gaiman</b> <b>to tell their stories </b>to a new audience. Hopefully this collection will be just the beginning
Natalie Haynes, Observer
There have been countless retellings of the Norse myths, but few that give them the everyday immediacy of Neil Gaiman’s <b>wry, punchy phrasing and delivery</b>. You feel that bumbling Thor, wise Odin, fabulous Freya and the wily Loki are <b>part of him</b>
The Times
Gaiman retells the Norse sagas in his own lucid, laid-back style, <b>teasing out the humour and absurdity </b>inherent in the source material … An honest retelling that betrays an abiding personal <b>passion</b> for the exploits of dim-witted Thor, mercurial Loki, bombastic Odin and the rest
Financial Times
It’s the perfect moment to become acquainted with Gaiman’s <b>eerie, fantastical writing</b>. In his latest book, he recasts the Nordic sagas as <b>gripping</b> human dramas, putting flesh and blood on the slippery Loki, the hard-charging Odin and others
Irish Independent
Luxuriantly illustrated by the fabulous Levi Pinfold
