Hear the original tales of Thor, Odin, and Loki, as the Vikings heard them long ago. Enjoy these ancient tales of tragedy, death, glory, and love, with all the gory and mystic details left out of the Hollywood versions. This collection, The Prose Edda, was the first time the Viking myths were assembled and written down in plain prose (before then, they existed only as oral poems). This abridged edition has only removed sections dealing with technical rules for writing poetry in the Viking style, but has included all the myths and legends.

The Viking Spirit is an introduction to Norse mythology like no other. As you’d expect from Daniel McCoy, the creator of the endearingly popular website "Norse Mythology for Smart People", it’s written to scholarly standards, but in a simple, clear, and entertaining style that’s easy to understand and a pleasure to listen to. It includes gripping retellings of no less than 34 epic Norse myths - more than any other book in the field - while also providing an equally comprehensive overview of the fascinating viking religion of which Norse mythology was a part.

Great Norse stories.
I really enjoyed listening to this, as soon as I figured out how to play it at a higher speed.
I guess it's mostly made for children so it's spoken quite slow and clearly, which is great for them but a bit annoying for me, but it was easy to set it to play a bit faster. Otherwise the narrator makes a good job with different voices for different characters and it's very easy to follow and understand.
The book itself is the good old stories I heard as a child growing up in Sweden about the different gods and their dealings with the humans, frost giants and other mythological beings.
