The Great Book of Norse Gods and Heroic Sagas, edited by Erich Ackermann

When the skald begins his songs by the blazing fire, things get serious: Aesir battle giants, heroes fight villains, and all against inescapable fate. In the far north, Allfather Odin and the goddess of love Freya reign supreme; there, heroes like the cunning Loki embark on adventures, and monsters of every kind populate the rugged realms. The sagas of Norse mythology unfold in an archaic world brimming with fascinating stories and characters. This richly illustrated volume gathers them all, with a brief introduction to the Germanic gods providing some clarity.
