THOR'S WEDDING DAY

A full cast of voices engages the listener in this funny, suspenseful adventure of the god Thor and his companions. Stable boy Thialfi tells the tale of Thor's desperate attempt to retrieve his stolen hammer and save Asgard, home of the Norse gods, from the giants. The heroes find themselves in many embarrassing and dangerous situations, which are solved by their quick wits and persistence. The multiple readers delight the listener with their portrayals of gods, goddesses, mortals, and goats, among many other interesting characters. The portrayal of Thialfi, the narrator, contains misplaced emphasis and pauses, but this distraction is overshadowed by the skill and enthusiasm of the other readers.
