Norwegian Folk Tales

`I summoned my courage, took a hammock and some maps and set out to walk in the stunning landscapes of Lofoten and beyond. For years I had wondered if it would still be possible to go out and collect stories. Raw stories that had been passed on by word of mouth since before people could read.'Norway's tiny population has a vibrant storytelling tradition - myths, legends and sagas from bogs and snow-capped peaks, some lyrical, others outlandish, all united by their connection to a harsh but splendid nature. In this collection by wandering storyteller Georgiana Keable, you will find beloved classics retold for modern times, alongside stories never printed before.
