Reading level: Ages 9-12
To create the story of Thor and Loki’s journey to the land of giants, author Jeff Limke relied heavily on the classic book Bulfinch’s Mythology by American Thomas Bulfinch. This work drew its material from the Prose Edda, a compilation of Norse tales compiled by Icelandic poet and lawyer Snorri Sturluson. Artist Ron Randall consulted numerous reference books on the medieval Vikings as well as art from the ancient Norse period to bring to life the vivid images of this story.
