If you're just interested in an introductory sort of text on Norse mythology, I'd suggest
D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths

If you're interested in later medieval stories, I have two recommendations -- the Canterbury Tales (http://www.librarius.com), and the Decameron (http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Italian_Studies/dweb/dweb.shtml).  Both of them are basically written around a group of people telling each other stories.  The authors are taking them from a variety of different source materials (in fact, some of the Canterbury Tales are repackaged from the Decameron, which in turn is retelling them from earlier sources as well).  There are a few other story-collections of this sort, but that's where I'd start.
