catalog abstract "Swedish Folktales and Legends is a diverse and enchanting collection of more than one hundred and fifty tales, providing a representative sampling of Sweden's folklore tradition, which was first recorded in the mid-nineteenth century (around the time of the Brothers Grimm). Drawn primarily from the Swedish National Folklore Archives and private collections as well as from various other sources, they are all newly translated from the Swedish, many for the first time. Ranging from the ribald to the romantic from the rustic to the mystical, from farmers' jokes to epiphanies, these are stories in which sirens trolls, giants, tomtar (household spirits) and ghosts, as well as princesses, shepherds, dunces and rakes all come to life. The unique voices and spirit of storytellers from generations past are unerringly captured in these lively original translations.".
