Norse Mythology: A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation Audiobook (Free)

A full-cast dramatisation of Neil Gaiman’s magical retellings from the Norse myths, inviting us into a globe of gods and monsters, techniques and trust, fiery endings and fresh beginnings

‘And the game begins anew…’

Meet the trickster god Loki and his astonishing children – the giant wolf Fenrir, Jormungundr the snake that encircles the world, and Hel, the little girl who matures to become Queen from the dead. Right here, too, can be Odin the all-father, who sacrificed his eye to see the long term; Thor the thunderer, who defends Asgard along with his fearsome power and mighty hammer; and Freya the understandably furious, most beautiful of the gods and generally being gambled for by unwanted suitors.

Right from the start of the universe in fireplace and ice, to the very end of the world, Ragnarok, these enthralling tales of gods, goddesses, dwarves and giants bring the ancient misconceptions to vigorous life.

Diana Rigg, Derek Jacobi, Colin Morgan, Natalie Dormer and Neil Gaiman himself are among the stellar ensemble in these spellbinding stories of aged betrayals – and new wish.
