The Theft of Thor’s Hammer •TYA • World Tales

by Genevieve Aichele

As Thor, the God of Thunder sleeps, the Ice Giants sneak in and steal his mighty hammer, symbol and source of his power and authority. The Gods and Goddesses set out to help Thor retrieve his hammer, for without it they all are weaker. Loki plays tricks, as usual, like dressing Thor up as a woman in order to ‘betrothe’ him to the King of the Ice Giants, thereby getting the hammer back. When that happens all Valhalla breaks loose.
