Swedish Fairy Tales, edited by Erich Ackermann

Fairy-tale stories from the North

Rich and abundant are the fairy tales from the land of the far north. They reflect the rugged landscape and the lives and character of the people who had to survive within it. Sweden is classic fertile ground for legends, fairy tales, and songs. Often eerie and dark, they are also sung and told with joy. Key figures include trolls, giants, devils, gnomes, and protective house spirits. Besides animal and magic tales, everyday stories and anecdotes belong to the rich repertoire of this fairy-tale world, which can be explored in this beautifully illustrated selection.
