awesome for adults and kids!

Loved it! My kids and I enjoyed listening while in the car as well as just hanging around the house.

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.
