One day in the distant future, Thor, the Norse god of thunder, is
destined to battle the giant snake that threatens to devour the world.
Until then, mortals of Middle Earth look to Thor and his magic hammer
for protection from evil. In this third volume of the Secrets of the
Ancient Gods series, Thor takes time from his duties to lead readers
through the mythological Norse realms, those mysterious worlds that are
home to gods, giants, elves, and monsters. He also delves into the age
of the Vikings and reveals how they lived and what they believed. Using
Thor as her humorous narrator, author Vicky Alvear Shecter provides a
well-researched and unconventional nonfiction introduction to Norse
mythology. Includes a glossary, bibliography, and index.
