Mitología nórdica: Una fascinante guía del folclore nórdico que incluye cuentos de hadas, leyendas, sagas y mitos de los dioses y héroes nórdicos

Given the vastness of Norse mythology, I’m curious how Gaiman chose which stories to retell and which to leave out. Did he aim for a specific narrative focus or try to balance different sources?

His tone balances respect for the myths with his signature wit, making the gods feel both grand and accessible. Was that contrast intentional or just how he naturally writes?

This approach makes the stories feel fresh but also personal. I wonder what motivated him to frame these ancient tales in his unique style.
