Bruce Corville is known for his silly wacky tales. In this one, Thor finds his hammer is in the Land of the Giants and plots to get it back. The Goddess of Love is expected to marry the King of the Giants but it's a "no go" situation? Is Thor capable of posing as the beloved goddess just to get his hammer back? Well... maybe with the help of a young friend who also dislikes wearing a stupid dress.

I purchased this book as a fun anniversary gift for my husband. He has read the book. As a practicing Asatruer, he enjoyed it. He noted a couple of inconsistensies in the story. However, as a children's book, it is a great book.

A fun romp into the world of Norse Mythology. I really enjoyed the characters of Gat & Grinder. I do think that Thor was a bit too dumb and that Freyja was a bit too vain. That is however, a matter of personal interpretation and opinion of the original myths. I only found two "factual" areas that were inaccurate. The first was when our marry cartload of cross-dressers road across the Rainbow Bridge, (Thor can't cross the Rainbow Bridge, he's too heavy). The second was, who it was that suggested Thor dress in bridal attire. While I agree with the author that it only seems logical to have Loki make the suggestion, is was in "fact" Heimdal who made the suggestion. If we're going to teach the younger generations the Nose Legends, we might as well get them correct as we can.
