In The Days Of Giants

In The Days of Giants

by Abbie Farwell Brown

In the Days of Giants is a collection of tales from the Northern lands, where summer is brief and winter is harsh. The stories are full of giants and dwarfs, spirits of the mountains and caverns, and the hero Thor, who dwells in the happy heaven of Asgard. The tales tell of the Beginning of Things, when cold and heat battled for supremacy, and of the good Aesir, who brought warmth and sunshine to the world.
