About the Book
Traditional folk tales from Sweden retold by a professional storyteller
Book Synopsis
With their roots in old Norse mythology, the folk tales from Sweden are evocative and reveal ancient beliefs about the wonders and dangers of the natural world. Sweden is a land filled with unearthly creatures, with ethereal spirits drifting in forests, and mischievous trolls lurking in mountain caves. Some of these beings are welcoming and helpful, rewarding those who treat them and their surroundings with respect, while others set out to seduce, sometimes with devious intentions.
The stories in this book have been collected and retold by Swedish storyteller Anna Maria from the legnth and breadth of the country. With tales ranging from dark and foreboding to humorous and farcical, this collection illustrates all aspects of the Swedish history.
