_Sources for the story teller:_

Northern mythology:

Anderson, R.B. Norse mythology.

A complete and systematic presentation of the Norse
mythology as embodied in the elder and younger Eddas and
later sagas.

Brown, A.F. In the days of giants.

The best form for younger children. A simple narration
of the main facts of Norse mythology in story form,
suggesting the strength of the original sagas.

Buxton, E.M. Wilmot. Stories of Norse heroes.

A very satisfactory collection of Northern myths, including
the story of the Nibelungs.

Bulfinch, Thomas. Age of Fable.

An excellent text book. Gives three chapters to Northern
mythology.

Carlyle, Thomas. The hero as divinity; Odin.
_In his_ Heroes and hero-worship.

This essay is most interesting and inspiring to the story-teller
who is presenting Scandinavian mythology.

Mabie, H.W. Norse stories.

In this collection the rugged strength of the Norse tales
is modified by a style that polishes and a beauty which
(however delightful in reading), could have been present
only in a vague way in the original stories.

Nibelungen Lied.

Fall of the Nibelungers; tr. by W.N. Lettsom.

Most of the adaptations are based on this translation.

The Nibelungs; tr. from the German of F. Schmidt by G. Upton.

_Adaptations:_

Baldwin, James. Story of Siegfried.

A version of that part of the Nibelungen Lied which
relates to the story of Siegfried. Incidentally the most important
myths of the Norse gods are woven into the story.
The most popular children's version, but very freely
adapted.

Chapin, A.A. Story of the Rhinegold.

Stories of Richard Wagner's four operas which form the
'Nibelungen Cycle.' The treatment of the theme is full of
strength but differs from other versions of the Nibelungen
story.

Church, A.J. Treasure of the Nibelungs. _In
his_ Heroes of Chivalry and romance.

Brief account of the Nibelung story, leading to fuller
versions.

McSpadden, J.W. Stories from Wag
