(urth) the beauty of Wolfe's writing

[Allan Anderson]

I remember that one fondly, but even more so--D'Aulaire's "Norse Gods and
Giants"...or I think it's been re-titled "Book of Norse Myths"

Andrew Lang's color fairy books are good stuff; I read many of them as a kid
myself.

Consider Michael Berenstain's "The Troll Book" as well.
