Penguin 1st Edition, published 1946.
A collection of fantasy short stories by Richard Garnett, generally considered a classic in the genre. Its title notwithstanding, the collection "has nothing to do with the Norse gods—although it draws upon everything else, from Arabic legends and Chinese fairy tales to Roman history and Greek mythology." The title story actually concerns the release of Prometheus, upon the ultimate eclipse of Greek paganism by Christianity, from the torture to which he was sentenced by Zeus.
Condition grading: Good. Light creaasing and foxing to front cover. Light foxing to rear cover. Light wear and light creasing to spine. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
