Book Description
Travel back to a magical world of colorful myth and legend as you explore this collection of folktales from Sweden. Over eighty stories are told, with more than forty illustrations of trolls, ghosts, giants and other denizens of the Swedish folkscape. There are tales of lost treasure, encounters with the devil, meetings with the tomte, the spirits of the home, and of the beautiful wood nymphs, whose true nature is often betrayed by a fox tail peeking below the hem of a skirt. Swedish Fairy Tales, originally published in 1890, will dazzle a new generation of readers with legends from Sweden's early storytelling tradition.

Book Description
Out of the country’s fascinating geography and history emerge a plethora of poetic and imaginative Icelandic legends that hold a particular wary respect of nature, and a wry wisdom at turns gentle and sharp: that we human beings are mere tenants on earth, with no control over weather or ghosts or wild. On the one hand, these stories come out of the great wellspring of Scandinavian tales that have so influenced the Western imagination: Here are elves and trolls, ghosts, goblins, and monsters; drama and mystery and moral. But Iceland’s particular geography, its long nights and savage weather, also led to the development of a unique oral tradition, from which grew the famous Icelandic family sagas and stories.
