About the Author:
Coming from Europe's northernmost reaches, the Vikings struggled to understand and control their harsh and beautiful world through myths: Thor, Odin, and the gods of Valhalla on high locked in great battles of good and evil; elves, trolls, and mortal men and women caught in life's tragic and comical daily dramas.
John Lindow is professor of Scandinavian studies at the University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA.
