A retelling of the stories of classical mythology by folklorist and historian, Helene Adeline Guerber.
Stories of Gods and Monsters Scandinavians of the Viking era explored the mysteries of life through their sagas. Folklorist Helene Adeline Guerber brings to life the gods and goddesses, giants and dwarves, and warriors and monsters of these stories in her classic Tales of Norse Mythology. Ranging from the comic to the tragic, these legends are packed with such legendary figures as the beautiful and fierce Valkyries, the wily trickster Loki, and the mighty god Thor. They tell of passion, love, friendship, pride, courage, strength, loyalty, and betrayal. Packed with colorful illustrations, Tales of Norse Mythology is necessary reading for anybody who is interested in learning more about Nordic legends, or who simply likes a great story.
H. A. Guerber's breathtaking history of the United States includes the foremost conflicts of the nation, profiles of the Presidents, and tales of America's greatest inventions and accomplishments. We find in this epic and wide-ranging chronicle a flowing account of the United States, from its earliest inception as a group of colonies along the Eastern Seaboard, to a global power of supreme international prominence and influence. That such a feat occurred in scarcely over a century was only possible owing to the efforts of individual Americans who collectively envisioned, with unparalleled optimism and bravery, a great future. The journey of America and its people is eventful and characterized by hardship: the harsh, untrammeled lands, the threat of the European powers, and the nation's struggle to cast off slavery are but a few of the difficulties faced and overcome by the American people.
