Hooray! I won a copy of Nancy Marie Brown's latest book, Song of the Vikings: Snorri and the Making of Norse Myths! It's about Snorri Sturluson who in many respects is the principle source of our knowledge of Norse mythology and therefore the ultimate influence behind some of the great imaginative works of J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings) and Richard Wagner (The Ring Cycle of operas).
From Nancy's blog, God of Wednesday.
In my March 1 post I offered to raffle off an autographed copy of my book Song of the Vikings: Snorri and the Making of Norse Myths. To enter, you had to answer the question, Who is the god of Wednesday and what does he have to do with this blog? Explain me to myself, I pleaded. I promised to print the best answers.
Yesterday the names went into a hat and … Congratulations to Scott Isebrand! Scott is a most deserving winner, as you'll see when you read his answer below.
