Description

With the huge popularity of mythological retales, here is a timely, multi-author story of the flawed but all-powerful Odin, told through ancient and modern hands, in a beautiful collectable edition. Everyone knows about Odin, the All-father, the one-eyed, all-seeing, powerful King of the Gods, presiding over his great hall Valhalla, surveying the nine realms and the billions of souls. He bears the pain of Ragnarok, the joy of travelling in disguise through Midgard and, shapeshifting in the dusk, joins his ravens in their flights across the mythic landscape. Featuring new stories from open submissions, this enthralling book reveals the larger-than-life tales of Odin and his kin, their adventures in the ancient and the modern world, with the gods, the giants, the valkyrie and the creatures of the epic Norse literature. Hardback, Deluxe edition, foiled with red foil page edges
