"Teutonic Myth and Legend" applies to the ancient religious conceptions and traditional tales of the "non-Celtic" northern peoples, whom Continental scholars prefer to call "Germanic" in the widest sense of the term. The myths varied in different districts and at different periods. It is doubtful if there ever was in any particular age complete uniformity of religious belief over a wide area of separated States. In fact, there are indications that sects and creeds were at least as numerous among Teutonic peoples in early times as at the present day. Stories repeated orally were also subject to change; they were influenced by popular taste, and rendered more effective by the introduction of local colouring.
Teutonic Mythology survives in its most concrete form in Scandinavian literature. On that account it has to be considered from the northern point of view, although much of it is clearly not of northern origin. Our principal sources of knowledge of this great Pagan religious system are the two Eddas of Iceland.
These Eddas are collections of mythical and heroic poems and stories. One is called the Elder or Poetic Edda; the other, Snorri's or the Prose Edda. The latter was discovered first; it came into the possession of appreciative scholars in the seventeenth century, by whom it was studied and carefully preserved.

Teutonic Myth and Legend Illustrated eBook Donald A Mackenzie Reviews
Good historic tales from the teutonic culture.
Very interesting - very convenient.
Nice, but hard to put an edge on
Well written. Well researched. Engaging.
Wonderful. Still adjusting to online reading.
In the process of reading it now. Seems to closely parallel the prose edda.
I liked this book quite a lot. It sheds light upon the "old religion" of the Germans. My immigrant grandparents who hailed from rural areas in the old country were still (even though they were not really aware that they did so) superstitious in some ways that honored the old religion. The reason that I did not give a higher mark is because the print in this book is so small that, unless you have young eyes, reading it is a lot of tiring work.
