520 _a"In the Days of Giants: A Book of Norse Tales" by Abbie Farwell Brown is a collection of Norse myths written in the early 20th century. The book explores the rich tapestry of tales surrounding the gods and giants of Norse mythology, primarily focusing on iconic figures such as Odin, Thor, and various giants and dwarfs. This enchanting collection likely includes stories that delve into the creation of the world, the nature of the gods, and their interactions with both mortals and mythical creatures. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the theme of creation, explaining that in the beginning, two primordial worlds existed: one of fire and one of ice. It describes the origins of Ymir, the frost giant, and Odin, who, along with his brothers, defeated Ymir to create the earth and the heavens from his body. The opening also hints at the ongoing battle between the forces of cold giants and the warm Aesir gods, setting the stage for the many adventures and moral lessons that will unfold through the tales, including heroes, tricksters, and the deep connections between the gods and the world they inhabit.
