Why “Raven” Books?

In Norse mythology, Odin’s two ravens fly forth every morning to bring him news of all the worlds. They ask questions of both the living and the dead, and return in the evening to perch on his shoulders and whisper into his ears that he might come to understand all that they have seen and heard. He is called the Raven-god.
