Written in plain text and complete with illustrations, the D’Aulaires
dig into the depths of the famed Poetic
Edda. In doing so, they create a brilliant tale, intended for children yes,
but also crafted in a manner in which all ages can and will be entertained. Beyond
information and enjoyment, the text serves academic purposes as well as a plain
text, relatable instrument that you can present to students to introduce them
to Norse topics before contrasting with the source text. While not available
for new purchase, there are plenty of sellers out there who make the text
available for purchase for an affordable price.

Excellent book. My kids enjoyed the D'Aulaire books, though we skipped Pochantas due to the really dated, frankly racist, illustrations. Excellent books if you keep in mind the times in which they were written.
