Chase is a collection of Norse myths and legends created for a young audience, likely written in the late 19th century. This text aims to bring to life the tales of the gods and heroes of Norse mythology, with an emphasis on storytelling that captures the imagination of children. The stories are rich with themes of creation, bravery, conflict, and the eternal struggle between gods and giants, featuring central figures like Odin, Thor, and Loke. At the start of the narrative, the book introduces readers to the beautiful world created by the gods, focusing on a majestic mountain called Mt. Ida, where the city of Asgard is located. The tale begins with Odin, the All-Father, observing earthly desolation and deciding to create humanity from two trees. The opening chapters outline the foundational mythos of Norse creation, emphasizing the interconnectedness of life through the cosmic tree Ygdrasil, and set the stage for future adventures involving the gods and their interactions with giants. Through vivid imagery and compelling language, readers are drawn into a mythical world where wisdom, conflict, and the struggle for knowledge play a crucial role in the lives of gods and mortals alike.
