Definitely not the first choice
Its quite a good book only if you are interested in Thor, Asgard, Odin, Bifrost, Nidavellir and other factionary places. Otherwise it will bore you for sure. The stories are not very clear too!!

Ich habe das Buch zu Weihnachten für den Sohn einer Freundin bestellt, der mit 15 Jahren gerade dabei ist Englisch für sich zu entdecken und großer Fan von Sagen und Göttern ist. Ihm hat es sehr gut gefallen. Das Buch ist quadratisch und sehr dick. Es ist in großer Druckschrift geschrieben und mit vielen schönen Illustrationen. Die Sprache ist einfach gewählt, weswegen ich das Buch für anfängliches Englisch auch sehr passend finde. Es gibt viele kleine Geschichten, die verständlich beschrieben sind und es damit sehr leicht machen, über die nordischen Götter zu lernen. An sich würde ich das Buch aber im Allgemeinen auch erst für Kinder ab 12/13+ empfehlen, da die Nordischen Sagen doch an mancher Stelle auch in Kinderbüchern etwas brutal erscheinen können

My 6-year-old daughter loves this book! Some of it goes over her head but she really enjoys the stories—we’ve re-read several of the chapters now. Just the right balance of pictures and text.

A magnifique livre adapté, illustré et simplifié pour toute a famille. En revanche, je m'interroge sur les pages vides au milieu de certaines histoires. Par exemple on passe de la page 193 à 196 avec deux pages BLANCHES non imprimées. Ce faisant, une partie de l'histoire manque?!? Bien que noter le vendeur ne soit plus possible, je reste à disposition de "The Garden Store Paris", si leur déongologie/professionalisme leur dictent de me proposer une solution. A beautifully enjoyable illustrated book. I wonder why there are blank pages in the middle of some stories though? For instance pages 194 & 195 are bank. Thus there are holes in some stories. Is the reader supposed to use their creativity and imagination to fill in the gaps?!? Though the deadline to grade the seller is passed, I'm making myself available to the seller "The Garden Store Paris", if their professionalism prompts them to offer a solution to the problem.

Wonderful children's stories and great illustrations.

As a Scandinavian I was very disappointed.. This is written so weirdly! Instead of telling the stories as they should be told, it feels Americanised (think paw patrol books of minimal literary value) and dialogue driven which makes it difficult to read and totally wrecks the stories. Wish I sent it back when I still could.
