Download Popular Tales from the Norse AudioBook Free
This is George Dasent's typical assortment of Scandinavian folklore. This is not about Norse mythology by itself; so if you are looking for stories of Odin, Loki, and Freya, etc., you will need to look elsewhere. Somewhat, this can be an anthology of folk stories, like the Grimm Brothers', or Campbell's Popular Tales of the Western Highlands. All of the regular suspects are in place, including giants, trolls, witches, bad step-siblings, magical boons and responsibilities, and anthropomorphic pets or animals. The introduction is exceptionally well crafted, and places various magical and other topics from the stories into the context of early Norse Pagan values. It is a Victorian scholarly treatise, however (with the requisite rhetorical flourishes), and will mostly be treasured by educational listeners. Once you get past the introduction however, the prose descends to the young adult level, and the wonderful experiences can be treasured by listeners of most ages.
