4-6Short Tales: Norse Myths series.
Illustrated by
Mark Bloodworth.
These volumes detail the mythologies behind some members of the Norse pantheon. Each god's deeds and adventures are described in compact narratives focusing on a particular storyline that encapsulates the figure's character; there is some inconsistency across stories. Digital-looking cartoon-style illustrations, though synthetic, bring an action-packed perspective to the traditional Norse tales. Review covers these Short Tales: Norse Myths titles: Odin, Freya, Heimdall, and Loki.
