Synopsis "The Wee Hávamál"
The Wee Havamal is an adaptation of the original work for fun and easy readingby children. I've re-written selected stanzas into modern English and adopted arhyming scheme to make the reading as engaging and memorable as possible.I mostly included themes like wisdom, friendship, martial virtue, and hospitality, as these are recurring themes in the original work and understandable for all agegroups. The seduction and magic themes largely did not make the cut, as thesewill have limited relevance to kids.What was chosen for adaptation has been re-ordered to reflect the visual storytold by the illustrations. The original stanza number is shown in the scrollworkheader for easy reference.I've tried to keep this work as close to the original meaning as possible. I don'tknow any Old Norse, however, so this work was based on Olive Bray'stranslation. Where that translation proved difficult to adapt to children's rhyme, other translations were consulted, but all stanza numbers are derived fromBray's work.
