Editorial : "Picard brings to life the wondrous tales of Thor, Odin, Loki, and the other fantastic inhabitants of Asgard and Valhalla and tells of their heroic deeds and colorful adventures, once more bringing these timeless tales alive for the reader to enjoy. Picard shows just why these tales have survived even into modern times."--Sing Out!
The Vikings told many stories of their gods: mighty Odin; Thor the god of thunder; gentle Freya; and Loki the mischief-maker and the tricks he played. In the stories, the gods are forced to always strive against the hated giants, who symbolize the pitiless northern snows and the grim mountains. These exciting and dramatic tales open with the beginning of all things, and follow the story through to the gods' final battle against the forces of winter.
And the cakes! Four recipes in one, at times! Also included are nut brittles, pies, liquid cheesecake, ganache, fudge sauce and other things that I didn't even know existed, let alone that I wanted to bake! Some have thier own dedicated chapters. The site was easy to navigate and we got just what we needed for his class at half the cost of the campus bookstore. Good read. Without a doubt, this is easily one of the best retellings of Norse Mythology I've come across (and I've read quite a few!). Also about the exercises I MUST point out that the majority come with answers at the back of the book! I found this awesome and specially suited for self study (which is my case, by the way).
The writing is very clear, beautiful and complete. Also, please note that you will lose your flash cards if you deregister the book from the PC Kindle app and flash cards created in the PC Kindle app cannot be viewed in the Kindle app on your phone. She's such a nice person, she makes friends with Euni
