Viking Folk & Fairy Tales: Ancient Wisdom, Fables & Folklore by J.K. Jackson (Flame Tree Collector's Editions)
Character-forming moral fables from the Viking and Nordic storytelling heritage take the magic of the natural world and combine it with the practical common sense of the everyday. Good folk are rewarded for their hard work; the honest and faithful are valued by the gods. Treasured tales from Hans Christian Andersen, such as "The Little Match Girl," and less well-known stories such as "Katie Woodencloak"—a Norwegian version of Cinderella—are amongst the heartwarming pieces in this collection. The source for many stories that would inspire the Brothers Grimm, the Viking storytelling heritage offers a lively conversation with the natural world.
This gorgeous collector's edition brings together the foundations of speculative fiction—authors, myths and tales without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist—into a striking, collectable library. The Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the best, most influential and most fascinating works, bringing timeless traditions into a beautiful format for the modern reader. Each volume features a new introduction and a glossary of terms.
