H.A. Guerber's classic collection of Norse Mythology, including the greater and lesser figures of Asgard and Valhalla: Odin, Thor, Loki, and more, as well as monsters of the realms, together with beautiful illustrations.Undoubtedly Northern mythology has exercised a deep influence upon our customs, laws, and language, and there has been, therefore, a great unconscious inspiration flowing from these into English literature. The most distinctive traits of this mythology are a peculiar grim humour, to be found in the religion of no other race, and a dark thread of tragedy which runs throughout the whole woof, and these characteristics, touching both extremes, are writ large over English literature.
