We read a beautiful and very special book by Dutch author Simone Kramer with our older monsters: About gods and giants. This book was written especially for children and is based on the prose Edda, written by Snorri Sturluson. The Edda is a collection of medieval mythological stories from Iceland.
You already understand that this book is about the Norse gods and giants, but it is also about people, monsters, dragons and other mythological figures. The author has succeeded in making th stories understandable for children and portraying the atmosphere very well . We fly through the book, because the stories are very exciting!
The cool illustrations in this book are made by Els van Egeraat. She has illustrated many books by Simone Kramer but also for various other authors, who write a completely different kind of books. Just visit her website, then you can read all about it and you will also get some fun book tips! A magnificent book that lasts you a lifetime!
