Balder the Beautiful: A Song of Divine Death is a book written by Robert Williams Buchanan and published in 1877. The book is a poetic retelling of the Norse myth of Balder, the god of light and beauty, who is beloved by all but is fated to die. The story follows Balder’s life and his relationships with his family and friends, including his mother Frigga, his father Odin, his wife Nanna, and his brother Loki. As the story progresses, Balder begins to have visions of his own death, and his loved ones try to protect him from harm. However, Loki, jealous of Balder’s popularity, tricks him into being killed by a mistletoe arrow. The book explores themes of love, jealousy, fate, and the inevitability of death. Buchanan’s poetic language and vivid imagery bring the myth to life and make it accessible to modern readers. Balder the Beautiful is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its powerful storytelling and timeless themes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
