The magic of old Europe returns!
In our book, we have gathered the rarest fairy tales from different countries of the Old World about mythical creatures. Dragons and giants, elves and fairies, gnomes and trolls, mermaids and water spirits, forest dwellers and household spirits appear before us on the pages of the great fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, alongside forgotten masterpieces by Sakariass Topelius, Peter Asbjørnsen, Joseph Jacobs, Bridget and Julia Kavan, Margaret Vandergriff, and folk tales. Beautiful classic translations from the late 19th to early 20th century (A. and P. Ganzen, E. Chistyakova-Vear, P. Polevoy), which our great-great-grandmothers enjoyed, as well as illustrations of legends by book graphics artists: Arthur Rackham, John Bauer, Theodor Kittelsen, Warwick Goble, Herbert Cole, Jenny Nystrom, and many others.
