reviewed D'Aulaires' Book of Norse myths by Ingri Parin d'Aulaire (New York Review children's collection)

Review of "D'Aulaires' Book of Norse myths" on 'Goodreads'

This is the book that shifted me from Greek mythology to Norse. I was probably about 10 or 12 at the time.

Illustrated in what might be pencil crayon (which, to the 10-year-old me, implied that I or my friends could draw something similar), this collection of Norse myths showed me the wonder and the tragedy at the heart of mythology.
