![]() ![]() I will try and respond to everyone as I can. This has gotten over 134,000 views and my inbox exploded. Now he turns his attention back to the source. I ended up creating a Twitter account to let Neil Gaiman know about this post and he responded with a big thank you. Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. I really hope that he decides to tackle other mythologies because I would love to be able to share more old stories with my kids.Įdit: This really blew up and I am so amazed by all of you. It felt like I was an old storyteller relating long lost legends to a new generation (which I guess I was). I found that the writing was really easy to get into. ![]() And he tells us why Ragnarok is both hauntingly familiar and a perfect myth for our time. We added some dark radio magic to Neil’s readings. Experiences like this make being a parent special. Writer Neil Gaiman retells the ancient Norse myth of the Twilight of the Gods and apocalyptic end of the world in his stunning new collection, Norse Mythology. I try and do voices and act out things when I read to them and my youngest took it a step farther by acting out the battle in her room while I was reading. Last night we came to the ending story of Ragnarok and they were totally entranced. We ended up reading a chapter/story every night and they couldn't get enough of it. I ended up getting Norse Mythology because I thought it might an interesting read and my girls saw it and wanted in. ![]() ![]() I really like Neil Gaiman as an author and look forward to all of his new books. ![]()
