In the Land of Trolls. Who's Who in Norwegian Folklore

This book will introduce the reader to key characters of Norwegian folklore – heroes of tales, legends, beliefs, and fairy tales. You will learn about nisse and trolls, sea spirits and elves, how to properly speak with marmel, and where... the hidden folk reside. Special attention is paid to parallels with myths, fairy tales, and legends of different nations, as well as the reflection of Norwegian folklore plots in world literature. Becoming acquainted with the heroes of Norwegian folklore will allow the reader to look at both well-known fairy tales from childhood and modern fantasy with a deeper interest in re-reading books like "The Chronicles of Narnia," "The Lord of the Rings," and the Harry Potter series. This edition includes illustrations and texts by the famous Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen, as well as an article about him. For middle school age.
