The British Edda' is actually a Sumerian, Egyptian and English mythological epic, narrating the fantastical adventures of Wodan, Loki and El, who comprise the 'Eden Triad' of the Garden of Eden. An adventurous tale rich with mythological wonder and legendary story telling, this text combines heroic narrative with speculative insights into ancient history and the origins of civilisation. It promises to entertain and provoke the mind of any discerning reader. Laurence Waddell was an explorer, Professor of Chemistry and Pathology, British army surgeon, collector, philologist, archaeologist, Doctor of Laws - as well as an author! First published in 1930, 'The British Edda' is now re-printed with a biography of the author, and is a must-have for any collector of Waddell's work.
