Scandinavian fairy tales
Twenty-eight beautiful fairy tales in classical translations of the XIX - early XX century with unique illustrations included in this book open to us the fairy-tale world of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland - a whole universe full of miracles and magic. Fascinating stories about brave princes and beautiful princesses, about fantastic creatures - trolls, elves, brownies - immerse readers in the world of dense forests and high mountains, transparent lakes and misty fjords. In each of them you will easily notice the echo of the majestic Scandinavian sagas that influenced the most famous works of the XX century, from "The Ring of the Nibelungs" to "The Lord of the Rings", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "Game of Thrones". The entertaining plots and amazing images created by the irrepressible imagination of the writers of Scandinavia reflect the character of the peoples inhabiting this region, their culture and customs, the harsh and majestic beauty of northern nature. Compiled by S.Z. Kobzova.
