The Children of Odin

The retelling of Norse mythology for children showcases the gods and mythical creatures of Asgard, including Odin, Thor, and Loki, through Padraic Colum's lyrical storytelling. First published in 1920, this engaging volume makes classic tales accessible to young readers, enhanced by Willy Pogany's illustrations. Colum, a prominent figure in the Irish Literary Revival, began his children's literature journey in America, bringing to life the enchanting narratives of dragons, giants, and Valkyries in a rich, captivating prose style.
