The Old Norse language and its rich pool of names provide a glimpse into the values, traditions, and beliefs of the Norse people.

There's a mysterious old man in this book who's missing an eye (and if you know your myth, you may know who I mean). Coupled with him, there's a whole world of references ranging from the Bifrost, through to Heimdall, through to two birds which keep watch on Gunnar throughout his adventures.
