This was on a theme shelf at my local library (for No-Shave November, because beards) and it's been something I've been wanting to do more research on for some time (Norse Mythology, not No-Shave).

A great overview of Norse Mythology listed alphabetically like any good encyclopedia with focus pages on Norse Heroes, the Valkyries, Rings of Power, Tragic Lovers, and of course Ragnarok. Many of the stories shared in each character section repeat just because the character mentioned was only in one myth and the story is covered in the entries for others involved in the story (the entry for Fafnir covers the same incidence covered in the entry for Siegfried, for example). Still a well researched collection that works perfectly as a jumping off point for anyone interested in the old Norse tales. ( )
