I've not read these yet, but I've put some versions in my wishlist of books to read:TSS42 wrote:I was watching Army of Thieves, and suddenly got interested in the story on which Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen is based.
Is there any good, fun and light book in modern speech where I can read these stories? In either German or Bokmål please. Even better if illustrated.
