Norse Gods and Giants is a children's book written and illustrated by Ingri and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire and published by Doubleday in 1967. [1] It was reissued by Doubleday in 1986 as d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants [2] and by New York Review Books in 2005 as d'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths. [3] [4]
The 154-page book is organized as a collection of 30 Norse myths, with color illustrations throughout, from "The first gods and giants" and "The creation of the world" to " Ragnarokk, the destiny of the gods" and "A new world". [3] The 2005 Library of Congress catalog summary called it a companion to Ingri and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire's Book of Greek myths, published by Doubleday in 1962, a 192-page collection of 46 Greek myths. [3] [5] The Greek and Norse collections are the couple's second and third most widely held works in WorldCat libraries, after their Caldecott Medal-winning picture book Abraham Lincoln (Doubleday, 1957).
