Introduction

(Or, the part of the book no one reads unless they’re your parents and they want you to fall asleep quickly.)

If you’re the one reading this part, well then HELLO! It’s very nice to meet you and tell you what this book is all about. We’re sure you’re thinking, What do you mean, ‘what the book is about’? Doesn’t the title say ‘Norse Mythology?’

You’re absolutely right! It is indeed. But we’re also going to explore what the words Norse and Mythology actually mean, and then we’ll take a closer look at the myths themselves. Did you know a lot of the Norse myths have also been talked about by other people in different ways? I’m sure you’ve heard the name Thor, especially with all the superhero movies that came out a few years ago. In this book, we’ll tell you all about how Thor was born, how he grew up, and the things he did. Before all that, we’ll also take a quick look at what myths are, where they come from, and why they’re important. There are many, many reasons why they’re important, but the main reason is because they are wonderful stories which people have loved for hundreds and thousands of years.

Yes, the stories are that old. Now, clearly they weren’t written in English at first, and when someone decided to translate it into English, they used a very old and very difficult kind of English. But then, some people translated that story from English into their own language and some parts of the story changed! Have you heard the Cinderella story? Well, did you know the Egyptians (Climo & Heller, 1992), the Persians (Climo & Florczak, 2001), the Native Americans (San, 1997) among many others have their own version of the story?

This is what happens when stories evolve. Evolve means when you change from what you were to something better. You might have heard in school that monkeys evolved into human beings. In the same way, stories evolved into monkeys — I mean myths!

These myths exist in every corner of the world, even the parts we haven’t really explored. There were so many of them that slowly people decided these stories ought to be studied, so that others who want to learn about them will be able to understand them. Like you!

Perhaps once you’ve grown up, you will decide you want to study the myths properly and will read all those very grown up books such as The Eddas or The Odyssey. When you begin to study all of this you will discover how the word myth comes from the Greek word Mythos, which means tales, or story. Then perhaps you will love all the stories you read so much that you will decide to write your own story. And when you do, I know it will be utterly, and truly, excellent.

History Brought Alive

At History Brought Alive we love learning about things that happened in the past. Even the not-so-nice parts. Which is why, the books we write will invite you to learn about the past in a fun way, and also remind you that the not-so-nice bits are just as important as the nice. We hope you will like what we write and how we write, so that you will read the books first, grow curious and read other books, and maybe one day go on to write books like these yourself! As you read through this book, we especially hope you like our book so much that you make a friend for life.

Citations

When you read through the books, you might find some sentences ending with a name and a date, like so: (Orel, 2003). This means that someone else said the thing you read, long before anyone else. Imagine your friend told you a joke they came up with, but it was so good that you absolutely had to tell someone else. So, you do, but you also tell them that your friend told you the joke first, so that they don’t think you came up with it or copied it from somewhere else.

We do this when writing as well. We look at something someone else has written, and we think it is so wonderful, we decide to put it into our stories, but we add the name and date at the end, so people will know we got it from someone else who is very good at writing, too. This is called giving someone credit.

It also means that if you want to read that person’s stories, you can go to the end of this book, check the list of related books and websites, and use the name and date to see where the person said it. Then, you can get their book to read what they wrote and have an extra book to read!

Chapter 1: What Are Myths

W

hen you think about the stories you like, which one is your favorite? I’ll start. My favorite story is about King Arthur and all his knights, and all the adventures they went on. Perhaps you’ve read about it. According to the people of Britain, he was the greatest and most noble King who ever lived. And his friend, the wizard named Merlin, was the smartest wizard ever.

How do I know all
