Odd and the Frost Giants

Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell join forces once more in this irresistible Nordic fable, gorgeously illustrated and now available in a much-anticipated paperback edition

Neil Gaiman's thrilling, wintery epic weaves a tale of legend, magic and adventure that will grip and enchant readers from beginning to end.

When a fatherless young Viking boy called Odd stumbles into the woods and meets a fox, an eagle and a bear, his destiny begins to change. These are no ordinary creatures but the mighty Gods Loki, Odin and Thor - trapped in animal form by evil Frost Giants. Now our hero must reclaim Thor's hammer, outwit the Frost Giants and release the Gods...
