'a mythological tour de force.' The New York Times'Out of print for many years, Norse Gods and Giants has been very handsomely reissued by the The New York Review Childrens Collection and retitled DAulaires Book of Norse Myths. Featuring a sturdy sewn binding, the book arguably represents the pinnacle of the dAulaires achievement as storytellers and artists.the prose seems livelier and more robust in the Norse myths than in the GreekTheir retelling of the Greek myths for children had to pull its punches somewhat.but since sex doesn't feature as prominently in Norse mythology, this book is able to stay scrupulously faithful to the Edda and still maintain its PG rating.

The enormous continent with all its possibilities and grandeur caught our imagination, Edgar later recalled. A small payment from a bus accident provided the means. Edgar sailed alone to New York where he earned enough by illustrating books to buy passage for his wife. Once there, Ingri painted portraits and hosted modest dinner parties. The head librarian of the New York Public Librarys juvenile department attended one of those. Why, she asked, didnt they create picture books for children? The dAulaires published their first childrens book in 1931. Next came three books steeped in the Scandinavian folklore of Ingris childhood. Then the couple turned their talents to the history of their new country. The result was a series of beautifully illustrated books about American heroes, one of which, Abraham Lincoln, won the dAulaires the American Library Associations Caldecott Medal. Finally they turned to the realm of myths. The dAulaires worked as a team on both art and
