COLUM, PADRAIC. Children of Odin. il *$4 Macmillan 293
20–19525
“In ‘The children of Odin’ Padraic Colum has given a free rendering of the myths of the poetic and the prose Eddas. Mr Colum tells us that he has done his work directly from the Eddas and in consultation with Norwegian scholars. Mr Colum had boys and girls above twelve years in mind when preparing his text.”—Bookm.
“Told in a connected narrative that flows in a simple, rhythmic prose sometimes poetic. Expensive for many libraries.”
