Publisher's Synopsis
Ragnarok is the story of the end of the world, destruction of life on this planet and the end of the gods themselves. As the bombs rain down in the Second World War, one young girl is evacuated to the English countryside. When she is given a copy of 'Asgard and the Gods' - a book of ancient Norse myths - her inner and outer worlds are transformed. Linguistically stunning and imaginatively abundant, this is a landmark piece of storytelling from one of the world's truly great writers.
