Gives you a good overview over norse mythology. It's very nicely structured, brings forth the sources to cite from them and explains where a specific word is coming from language-wise while also leaving room for speculation. It was however a bit eerie; this book was written in 1903 and often hinted at the fact that fanatic patriots probably use images and myths from norse mythology to fit their own propaganda - and this was BEFORE Hitler! It's good that the book clarifies that this is NORSE mythology, not GERMAN mythology. I'm excited to read of german mythology differs. All in all, sometimes a little exhausting to get through, but very interesting.
