GAIMAN, Neil.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Norse Mythology. First edition, signed deluxe issue, one of 50 copies signed by the author and issued with a slipcase. Gaiman's popular retelling of Norse myths draws from the Poetic Edda and Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda.Gaiman elaborates on aspects of Norse mythology that have traditionally received little attention, "as likely to devote a little page-space to Ratatosk, the malicious, gossipy squirrel - who lives in Yggdrasil and takes messages between the corpse-eating dragon at its root and the stern eagle in its branches - as to any Asgardian" (Haynes). A radio adaptation, starring Derek Jacobi, Colin Morgan, and Natalie Dormer, aired on BBC Radio 4 on Boxing Day 2018, and an 18-issue comic book series was released in 2023.
