Neil Gaiman wrote Norse Mythology and he also read the audio version. Hearing his voice change for an angry Thor, a mischievous Loki and the wise Odin was very entertaining. He included the female Norse gods too and holy smokes, Freya was very entertaining when the male gods came up with dumb ideas that benefitted them but called for extreme sacrifice on her part. This author is not only a gifted writer, he is a gifted actor as well. Gaiman must be a Renaissance man. The story behind why Thor's hammer has such a short handle made me laugh out loud.
