Including both mythsstories, usually religious, which explain origins, why things are as they are, the nature of the spiritualand legendsstories which attempt to explain historical events and which may involve historical characters but which are told in a non-historical way and which often include supernatural eventsTales from Valhalla is an accessible and lively volume that brings these hallmarks of world literature to a new generation.
