Publisher's Synopsis
The tales of the Norse gods--of the giants, demons, trolls, and dwarves--still have the power to fascinate more than a thousand years after they were first told. Tales from the Norse Legends tells the stories of the one-eyed god Odin, the all-seeing, who from his throne in Asgard must prepare for Ragnarok--the final conflict between good and evil. There are tales too of Tyr, of the cunning Loki, of Thor the mighty thunder god, and a host of others. These retellings of the old tales are given extra dramatic perspective by the music of Mahler, Grieg, and Smetana.
