Popular Tales from Norse MythologyCourier Corporation, 2012 M04 13 - 352 páginas Embodying the fears, fantasies, and forebodings of the people who lived in northern Europe when the world was a darker and more frightening place, these 42 authentic folktales were culled from the rich legacy of Norse and German mythology by noted folklorist George Webbe Dasent.
