An intriguing retelling of Norse myths through the eyes of a child narrator in the Second World War. Ragnarok is a classic myth which has picked up many elements of modern Christianity over the years and Byatt has done well to strip away the more egregious ones. The Norse myths are by their very nature strange, beautiful, alluring and brutal. Having this condensed retelling of the key ones is fantastic. The gods of Åsgard are not forgotten and the familiar names are given life in the stories told here.
