About this book
In The Days of Giants by Abbie Farwell Brown whisks listeners into the frozen, thunderous world of Norse myth where towering mountains, caverns, and the land of the midnight sun shape legends of giants and gods. Brown's enchantingly told myths and legends paint Asgard’s halls, the hammer-blows of Thor, the wisdom of Odin, and Balder’s sunlit charm without spoiling the wonder of each tale.
These retellings draw on Northern folk tradition and early 20th-century storytelling to explore primal themes: the battle between winter’s cold and spring’s warmth, the clash of elemental forces, and the intimate relationships between humans, giants, and the Æsir. Rich with spirits of mountain and cavern, heroic exploits, and creation lore, the collection balances lyrical description with vivid action, preserving the atmosphere of old Scandinavian sagas while remaining accessible to modern ears.
Perfect for lovers of myths/legends, fans of Norse mythology, families seeking atmospheric storytelling, or anyone who enjoys lyrical folklore, this audiobook is a timeless listening experience that brings ancient northern tales to life through evocative narration and enduring themes.
