The Nordic Treasure Trove of Fairy Tales and Legends / Book

Rich and overflowing are the fairy tales and legends from the lands of the far north. They reflect the rugged landscape as well as the lives and character of the people who had to survive within it. Alongside tales from the monumental Edda sagas, which date back to the Viking Age, we encounter people who experience adventures in magical worlds, as well as spirits and demons, trolls, elves, dwarves, and goblins, who bring nature to life. The stories in this volume come from the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Lapland, and the Baltic countries.
