Title
Folktales of Norway (Folktales of the World),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Often lacking the clear episodic structure of folktales about talking animals and magic objects, legends grow from retellings of personal experiences. Christiansen isolated some seventyseven legend types, and many of these are represented here in absorbing stories of St. Olaf, hidden treasures, witches, and spirits of the air, water, and earth. The ugly, massively strong, but slowwitted trolls are familiar to Englishspeaking readers. Less wellknown, but the subject of an enormous number of legends, are the more manlike yet sinister 'huldrefolk' who live in houses and try to woo human girls. These tales reflect the wildness of Norway, its mountains, forests, lakes, and sea, and the stalwart character of its sparse population.'The translation is excellent, retaining the traditional Norwegian style . . . the tales themselves will also appeal to the interested layman.'Library Journal
