In the introduction to Norse Mythology, his resonant re-creation before our very eyes of the enduring legends starring one-eyed god Odin, dangerously mischievous Loki, and more, multi-award-winning fantasy author Neil Gaiman says of the world's many traditions, "If I had to declare a favorite, it would probably be for the Norse myths." He first encountered them in American comics as a child and later uncovered a deeper and subtly different understanding of their virtues, which have influenced his own writing. But it took a suggestion from Amy Cherry, Norton VP and senior editor, for him to provide his own version of these tales.
