    "With the first volume of Rick Riordan's Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series just released, Napoli and Balit's new mythology treasury is particularly welcome." – Booklist

    "This is truly a layered work, with the illustrations standing alone as startling works of art, and the frequent informational sections (fact boxes, sidebars, character lists, maps, an introduction, a substantial afterword, and a bibliography) offering a thrilling amount of extra material for true fans." – Children's Book Council Starred Reveiw

    "Fans of Rick Riordan’s new book, 'Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard,' will want a copy of 'Treasury of Norse Mythology' by Donna Jo Napoli.
