About this listen
The great Norse myths are woven into the fabric of our storytelling - from Tolkien, Alan Garner and Rosemary Sutcliff to Game of Thrones and Marvel Comics. They are also an inspiration for Neil Gaiman's own award-bedecked, best-selling fiction. Now he reaches back through time to the original source stories in a thrilling and vivid rendition of the great Norse tales. Gaiman's gods are thoroughly alive - irascible, visceral, playful and passionate - and the tales carry us from the beginning of everything to Ragnarök and the twilight of the gods. Galvanised by Gaiman's prose, Thor, Loki, Odin and Freya are irresistible forces for modern listeners, and the crackling, brilliant writing demands to be heard around an open fire on a freezing, starlit night.

Wonderful Adventure
Well written, well read, a thrilling journey into the mystical halls of Norse mythology. The only complaint I have is that it was over far too quickly.

A Rich History of the Gods
Wonderfully told. Wonderfully read. What is otherwise a tedious headscratch of ancient tales are transformed into fantastical tales.

The Gods, Frail, Failing and LIkeable
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
It is a great and friendly way to become acquainted with the impressive mythology of a people who once adventured far and wide.
What other book might you compare Norse Mythology to and why?
Homer's Odyssey
What about Neil Gaiman’s performance did you like?
The characters he puts on the stage, although bestowed with divine powers, have all the shortcomings of mere mortals. Their petty squabbles, foolish actions, deceptions and heroic feats makes you relate to them.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The Gods; Survive against the Odds

The Old World's Gods and their shenanigans
Neil Gaiman's narration is superb. Not to be perceived as a voice actor, he doesn't voice all the characters differently, (major characters do get their own voices) it is clear he loves telling a good story. This book, which is a collection of short stories, covers the essence of the Norse myths. Gaiman's retelling is soothing, hilarious, even harrowing when it needs to be. An easy recommendation.

Simply superb
I loved it. Mythology is fascinating enough, but is at another level thanks to Gaiman's obvious love for it.

Wonderful stories
The stories are told so well and Neil Gaiman’s narration is excellent. I can’t think of a good reason not to listen to this again.

Timeless fables to share around the camp fire
Everything I love about myths, but modern and fresh too. Filled all the timeless metaphors old legends try to warn us about, but also the charm and heart that is Niel Gaiman.

Simply amazing.
I've read several of the stories as a child, but I can not remember them being this entertaining. Very well written and expertly performed.
