Gudarna kom från tre olika släkter; asarnas, vanernas och alfernas. Dessutom fanns Lokes släkt av jättar. I Världsträdet Yggdrasil byggde gudarna världen. Här utkämpades strider, här tävlades det i löpning och här skapades vänner och fiender. Nordiska gudasagor berättar om Odens, Tors och Lokes många äventyr, strider mot jättarna och magiska ting. Läs om hur människorna får utstå missväxt, svält och nöd när Fimbulvintern slår till, om hur Tor förlorar sin hammare Mjölner, om hämnarsvärdet som Ivalde smider för att döda Tor och om hur Svipdag befriar Fröja från jättarna. - 33 sagor hämtade från den nordiska traditionen, från hur världen skapas till dess undergång, Ragnarök, och alla äventyr där emellan. - Det här är en bearbetning av Kata Dalströms original från 1904. Språket är moderniserat och nya originalteckningar har tagits fram.

SJU HISTORIER Det var en gång en fattig flicka som trodde att hon var en prinsessa ... * så börjar den första av mina historier .. I H. C. Andersens anda skrev jag några fler Eventyr og Historier. * för när jag en dag vilade under vattenpilens bladverk tänkte jag att .. träd nog har levt mycket länge .. att de ogärna flyger till fjälls, fast de vet hur (!) .. att de kan falla omkull men inte ohjälpligt (!) .. att granen i vinterskogen vet var den otroligt glömske tomten finns. Dedär kan vara bra att känna till – man vet aldrig när det behövs. Historierna blir en behändig liten handbok för alla barn. Och vuxna också, om de skulle glömt allt sånt. * I den sista historien stiger månens glänsande skiva upp på natt­himlen; och får en skeppsgosse att drömma om riktigt silver. Kommer måhända somligas rikedomar från månen? Är det en sjörövarhistoria han hamnar i?
