Acknowledgements
I should like to thank Jamie Byng for his enthusiasm for this project and Francis Bickmore for editorial wisdom and patience. And I should like to thank Norah Perkins. My friend Jenny Uglow has shared ideas and a passion for the Norse stories. I am particularly indebted to my Danish translator, Claus Bech, who gave me Villy Sørensen’s Ragnarok in both Danish and English, and shared Danish names for fish. My German translator, Melanie Walz, also helped with German versions of the myths. My agent Deborah Rogers has been wonderfully enthusiastic and helpful, and Mohsen Shah, from Rogers Coleridge and White, has kept everything in more order than seemed possible. My husband, Peter Duffy, as always, listens to problems and excitements, and adds new ideas. My daughter, Miranda Duffy, who once spent time working with wolves, told me what to read, and how wolves behaved.
