First UK edition, first impression, signed by the author on an additional leaf bound into the book. Gaiman's popular retelling of Norse myths draws from Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda and the verses of the Poetic Edda. Gaiman elaborates on aspects of Norse mythology that have traditionally received little attention; a review in the Guardian declares that "Gaiman is an egalitarian explainer, as likely to devote a little page-space to Ratatosk, the malicious, gossipy squirrel who lives in Yggdrasil and takes messages between the corpse-eating dragon at its root and the stern eagle in its branches as to any Asgardian" (Haynes). A radio adaptation, starring Derek Jacobi, Colin Morgan, and Natalie Dormer, aired on BBC Radio 4 on Boxing Day 2018, and the book is also currently being released as an 18-issue comic book series by Dark Horse Comics. Natalie Haynes, "Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, review - A Rich Retelling", Guardian, 12 February 2017, accessible online. Octavo. Original black imitation cloth-backed boards, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Publisher's sticker to rear panel of jacket, unclipped: a fine copy in like jacket. Seller Inventory # 169366
