"With the first volume of Rick Riordan's Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series just released, Napoli and Balit's new mythology treasury is particularly welcome."

"Fans of Rick Riordan’s new book, 'Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard,' will want a copy of 'Treasury of Norse Mythology' by Donna Jo Napoli. Napoli’s conversational tone keeps these ancient stories fresh and fun, and the graceful illustrations with gold accents make the book a luxurious gift.”
