Description
“Folktrons väsen: Encyklopedi” – discover the extraordinary beings of Nordic folklore!
They were believed to dwell all around us — taking on countless forms and guided by motives as mysterious as they were varied. These are the creatures of folk belief, brought to life in the vivid and enchanting world of traditional tales and rural imagination.
Folklorist Tora Wall presents a richly illustrated and truly exceptional work that explores a wide array of beings from Nordic folk tradition. Within its pages you’ll encounter seductive forest spirits with hollow backs (skogsrån), wandering ghost lights (lyktgubbar), the black dogs of Bohuslän, the gods of Ásatrú (asagudar), night-mares (maror), phantom pigs (spöksvin), serpent-dragons (lindormar) and restless spirits (gastar).
Prepare for a magical reading experience that draws deeply from the beliefs of rural communities as well as the imaginative world of the Viking Age and medieval Scandinavia.
Folklorist Tora Wall brings to life a host of magical, legendary creatures and monsters rooted in traditional Nordic lore.
