Neil Gaiman returns with a gripping piece of work that is 'Norse Mythology'. You have to give it to him for mixing fantasy, horror, mythology, emotions and comedy in almost perfect proportions and come up with this mead of stories. In separate but intertwined tales, we are told of the many adventures and misadventures of Norse Gods - Odin, Loki, Thor and Frey amongst many others - and of giants and dwarfs and elves, and with what elan! My personal favourite was about how Thor's hammer came into existence. 
 Strongly recommended for anyone and everyone who love good, old stories.
