Norse Fairy & Folk Tales

Scandinavian fairy tales belong in the world's treasury of beloved stories with many of our most familiar tales having Norse origins. This collection offers a smorgasbord of giants, trolls, and clever - and not-so-clever - siblings, all conforming to the recognisable fairy-tale tropes set earlier by the Brothers Grimm. The stories give you a fascinating insight into Nordic concerns in the 19th century, the time at which these tales were collected from native oral storytellers.

This is elegantly presented with an embossed cover design, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers and silver gilded page edges, making a wonderful gift or collectible for any fans of mythology and legends.
