From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up Certainly one of the most authoritative collections of Norse mythology written for adults is Crossley-Holland's The Norse Myths (Pantheon, 1981). These 32 tales cover the wide variety of Norse lore and are the result of impeccable research. Here he has repackaged 22 of them into a collection intended for juvenile audiences. Most of the tales have been reprinted verbatim from the original, and they will be inaccessible to all but the most sophisticated and motivated YA readers. Small woodcuts complement the roughness of the myths, yet they seem fragmented overall. Save your money and send those YA patrons with a pronounced interest in Norse mythology to the adult department for The Norse Myths . Denise A. Anton, Corn Belt Library System, Normal, Ill.
