Nordic Tales
Nordic Tales: Folktales from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Denmark | Chronicle Books
9 posts | 12 read | 17 to read
Trolls haunt the snowy forests, and terrifying monsters roam the open sea. A young woman journeys to the end of the world, and a boy proves he knows no fear. This collection of 16 traditional tales transports readers to the enchanting world of Nordic folklore. Translated and transcribed by folklorists in the 19th century, and presented here unabridged, the stories are by turns magical, hilarious, cozy, and chilling. They offer a fascinating view into Nordic culture and a comforting wintertime read. Ulla Thynell's glowing contemporary illustrations accompany each tale, conjuring dragons, princesses, and the northern lights. This special gift edition features an embossed, textured case and a ribbon marker.

Two things to consider:
There are always rules,
and not every story has a happy ending.

Who doesn't love strange fairytales?
These are all amazing, some a little weirder than others but that is what makes them so great.
Plus, how beautiful is this book?

Thanks @Yuki_Onna for the tag! #wondrouswednesday @Eggs These are tough but here goes: 1. George Eliot, Elizabeth Bishop, & Donna Tart, but ask me tomorrow and I‘ll answer differently 😉2. Phryne, it‘s such a perfect name for the femme James Bond & 3. What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, & Healing

Eggs Thanks for joining in 🤩 3y
