Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Once, when Thorâs hammer is stolen, Thor must disguise himself as a womanâdifficult with his beard and huge appetiteâto steal it back. More poignant is the tale in which the blood of Kvasirâthe most sagacious of godsâis turned into a mead that infuses drinkers with poetry. The work culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and rebirth of a new time and people. 541 $d 20220324. 650 $a Mythology, Norse. 655 $a Large type books. 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728010543.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D77D800DD8211ECA77FE4F053ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
