Kevin Crossley-Holland’s collections span the full breadth of his career. His poetry volumes, including The Rain-Giver and Poems From East Anglia, reflect his deep attachment to the landscapes of Norfolk and East Anglia. His folk tale collections bring together retellings from Norse, British, and Welsh traditions.
Notable titles include Norse Myths (1993), which became a standard retelling of the Norse mythological cycle, and Norse Myths: Tales of Odin, Thor and Loki (2017), a beautifully illustrated version for a wider audience.
