The extraordinary Scandinavian myth cycle is one of the most enduring, exciting, dramatic and compelling of the world's great stories. A series of intertwined tales which together form a strange and fantastical world teeming with gods and goddesses, heroes and monsters, battles and couplings, the Norse myths are as exciting to read as they are of vast cultural and historical importance. Taking us from the creation of the world through the building of Asgard's Wall to the final end in Ragnorak, and featuring the exploits and adventures of such legendary figures as Odin, Thor and Loki, "The Penguin Book of the Norse Myths" brings alive the passion, cruelty and heroism of these unforgettable stories.

Follow our hero's quest through the worlds of myth and magic. Dragons watch, wolves chase and sea-monsters lurk, in this timeless and epic adventure.

The Mountain of Smoke is a collection of 51 paintings completed in acrylic, ink and pencil by Jeffrey Alan Love. These works are reproduced directly from Jeff's sketchbook, which took him seven months to complete. Jeff is now sharing these personal works for the first time. The viewer follows along as the artist loses himself in his practice of letting his mind wander to see what it unveils. The result is a fantasy collection where you create the story. The collection has been professionally photographed to showcase Jeff's textures and paint strokes to give viewers the intimate feeling that they are holding the actual sketchbook. Over half of the paintings are accompanied by the artist's captions and initial pencil sketches. Details of 19 paintings are showcased.
