NORSE FAIRY AND FOLK TALES (GILDED POCKET) (HB)

Many of the best-known fairy tales in the world have Norse roots. This collection offers a smorgasbord of giants, trolls and clever (and not-so-clever) siblings. Moreover, these tales offer fascinating insights into Nordic concerns in the 19th century, when folklorists were travelling to visit oral storytellers and writing down what they heard. Published with an embossed cover, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers and silvered page edges.
