Nordic Tales is a collection of 16 traditional tales from the enchanting world of Nordic folklore.

Translated and transcribed by folklorists in the 19th century, these stories are at once magical, hilarious, cozy, and chilling.

Welcome to a world of mystical adventure—where trolls haunt the snowy forests, terrifying monsters roam the open sea, a young woman journeys to the end of the world, and a boy proves he knows no fear.

• Offers a fascinating view into Nordic culture
• The tales come alive alongside bold, contemporary art
• Part of the popular Tales series, featuring Tales of Japan, Celtic Tales, Tales of India, and Tales of East Africa

Nordic Tales will enthrall fans of fairytales and captivate those interested in the rich history of Nordic culture.

Ulla Thynell's glowing contemporary illustrations accompany each tale, conjuring dragons, princesses, and the northern lights.

• A perfect audiobook for fairy tale and folklore lovers, fans of Nordic culture, people of Nordic ancestry, and bibliophiles looking for a comforting wintertime listen
• Add it to the collection of books like D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths by Ingri d'Aulaire and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire, Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, and Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes by Edith Hamilton

This was great

This was great. I remember some of these stories from when I was young, but there were many more that I had not heard. I thoroughly enjoyed them all.

Cool parallels to French, German, English tales

liked it a lot. this is just for the word count of the review.

Interesting but…

My review should be read understanding that I am from a Norwegian family and so there is some built in bias towards a favourable review. That said I really did enjoy it. It has a nice scattering of tales and kept my interest.

Fantastic

Beautifully written, and wonderfully presented. These stories have been added to my ‘Favourites’ collection. They are an absolute treat and pair well with a mug of hot chocolate.

interesting stories for kids or adults

short book, a few interesting stories mostly for kids or adults who are fond of tales, good performance

Fantastic.

These are very good stories.
The readers who read these put a lot of emotion into them. They ave very exciting, entertaining, and enjoyable stories. I really enjoyed the first story from Finland partly because of my Finnish ancestry and also because it was very exciting and fun story I think you will enjoy.
