Nordic Tales: Folktales from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Denmark (Nordic Folklore and Stories, Illustrated Nordic Book for Teens and Adults) (Tales of)

Arrived in amazing condition! I would also like to mention the fantastic cover, absolutely gorgeous.I love this book so much, and I find myself frequently re-reading it. Great stories, great writing, and beautiful artwork. I also loved the new book smell it had, y'know the nice smell of new parchment.I will absolutely be buying from this author again.

Wonderful for tales and fairy tales of Scandinavia

I haven’t read it completely yet, but what is have read so far has been just spectacular! Everything inside is just so beautiful and so well marvelously created!

The hard book cover n illustration are vivid and beautiful. The print is slightly smaller than I prefer, but it's a lovely book.

Interesting collection of tales. None that I had heard before. Love the artwork!

I am in joying these tales. Keep writing about these northern cultures.

I cant wait to snuggle tonight and read a chapter or two 🥰🥰🥰

The stories were cute, and while I am not an expert on Scandinavian/Norse culture, it felt accurate to how culturally folktales are told in the region. There are tidbits on why stories tend to follow particular themes (such as why most main characters in stories are the youngest sibling). They do provide sources to where the short stories were sourced, so you can tell the authors didn't just make them up and try to pass them off as traditional.As for the content of the stories themselves, there are some damn clever protagonists.Art is super gorgeous too!From a critical standpoint, the author's voice may be difficult for some people, since it is written the way you'd expect traditionally oral stories to be told. I can read it out loud to kids and keep them interested, but just reading it late at night quietly can put me to sleep, since the flow is on the choppy side.If you like to write, there's good inspiration material in here. And if you're interesting in getting to know more about norse folk culture, check it out!
