1915 Teutonic Myth and Legend by Donald Mackenzie / Gresham Publishing Co. / Colour & BW Illustrations / Good Condition / Loki, Thor etc.

Here is a super copy of Teutonic Myth and Legend by Donald Mackenzie. Undated but research shows it to be a first edition published by The Gresham Publishing Company Ltd in 1915.  A richly illustrated, very attractive book. With four colour plates and thirty-one in black and white. The only real condition point to note with this copy is fairly heavy foxing to the pages through the text and to the closed outside edges (see photos).

Contents: The Story of Creation; The Nine Worlds; The Deeds of Odin; How Evil Entered Asgard; The Winter War; Triumph of Love; The Lost Sword of Victory; Fall of Asgard; The Gods Reconciled; Loke's Evil Progeny; Thor's Great Fishing; The City of Enchantments; Thor in Peril; The Great Stone Giant; Balder the Beautiful; The Binding of Loke; The Dusk of the Gods; The Coming of Beowulf; Conflict With Demons; Beowulf and the Dragon; Hother and Balder; The Traditional Hamlet; Hamlet's Storm Mill; Land of the Not Dead and Many Marvels; The Doom of the Volsungs; How Sigmund Was Avenged; Helgi Hundingsbane; Sigurd the Dragon Slayer; Brynhild and Gudrun; The Last of the Volsungs; Gudrun's Vengeance; Siegfried and the Nibelungs; The Promise of Kriemhild; How Brunhild and Kriemhild Were Won; The Betrayal of Siegfried; The Nibelungen Tragedy; Dietrich of Bern; The Land of Giants; The Wonderful Rose Garden; Virginal, Queen of the Mountains; Dietrich in Exile; The King's Homecoming.

Inside the contents are tightly bound with no writing or inscriptions. The closed top edge is gilt (with a few light scuffs).

Olive-green cloth covered boards have striking ornate decoration to the front and spine, and gilt titles. Again in top order. The decoration has stayed extremely bright on both the front and spine, as have the shiny gilt titles.
