Author Virginia Loh-Hagan not only examines Thor, Odin, Heimdall, and the famous Valkyries, but she also explains and introduces other inhabitants of this nine-realm universe. T is for Thor: A Norse Mythology Alphabet takes readers beyond the movie screen and into the world of Scandinavian mythology, history, culture, and religion. But there’s a lot more to this mythic universe than trickster Loki and his hammer-wielding god of thunder brother. Otherworldly landscapes, thundering soundtracks, epic battles between superhero gods and monsters–current movies and book series have turned Norse mythology into popular commercial entertainment in recent years.
