Discover the stories of the magical Norse mythology that inspired the naming of the days of the week!

Hundreds of years ago, the Vikings of Northern Europe worshipped gods and goddesses who were said to bring comfort, safety, and protection. But they were also complex figures who went on heroic quests, fought savage battles, and looked to find order in chaos. This mythology was the foundation of Norse culture, connecting people to their land, ancestors, and history. The Vikings dedicated each day of the week to a god or goddess and the heroic feats they were famous for. Today, we still use the names that Norse folklore has given us for our weekdays.

Young readers will learn about fierce wolves, flying goats, magical ravens, Thor's amazing hammer, and the power of mythic storytelling. These centuries-old traditional tales are magnificently brought to life by sweeping and colorful illustrations of the people and animals of the Norse imagination.
