Norse Mythology: A Guide to the Gods, Heroes, Rituals, and Beliefs by John LindowMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A solid work of scholarship. The introduction provides essential background material for the culture of the mythology, and an interesting, if brief, discussion of the nature of time in Norse mythology. Since the body of the book is arranged alphabetically by topic or character, it helps to have some grounding in Norse mythology to start with. So if what you're looking for is a narrative of the tales of the Norse gods, this not the right book.
