Synopsis :

A unique collection of Sweden's most charming folktales

Swedish Folktales and Legends is a diverse and representative collection of stories from Sweden's centuries-old folklore tradition.

Lone Thygesen Blecher's engaging introduction details the purpose and background of folktales and legends as well as the history of their collection. This distinctive selection presents the storytelling artistry of Sweden's lush folkloric tradition.
