'Myths of the Norseman'

'Myths of the Norseman'

Postby Cuinn » August 23rd, 2006, 10:27 pm

Hi there, for those who remember me. I'm back-ish after a few months' hiatus and hope to stay.

Anyway, I've been doing some searching for a book that was supposedly a childhood influence Lewis and have yet to turn up any valid evidence that it was, or even who it was by. The book in question is called 'Myths of the Norseman', and is referenced in a 'Heroes of the Faith' biography of C.S. Lewis. However, upon doing a search for the book, I can only find two that are similar in title: one, the edition by Roger Lancelyn Green, who was a friend of Lewis and a member of the Inklings, and the other by a H.A. Guerber.

I would first like to know if anyone can verify that any such book was indeed a childhood influence on C.S. Lewis, and, if so, who it was written by.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks!

Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.
