The cover has been unveiled for Neil Gaiman’s forthcoming book, Norse Mythology. The New York Times reports that the author has been enamored by Norse mythology since the time of his childhood.
In Gaiman’s Facebook post, he revealed that this book features his own “retelling of the world of Norse mythology, from the beginning until Ragnarok and after, with Thor and Giants and Loki and Freyr and all sorts of interesting things on the way. I took real joy in telling the stories, and trying to make them both accurate and interesting.”
