Humorous tales, cautionary tales, tall tales, fairy tales, heroic tales – the depths of Swedish folklore hold all of the above and more besides. From cunning folk and helpful Tomtar, to sinister Näcken and the Stallos of Sami legend (with plenty of romance and derring-do in-between) this book covers centuries-worth of Sweden’s folk tales, telling stories that have never been translated into English before, as well as several oral tales published in writing for the first time.
Anna Maria Vilhelmina Hellberg Moberg joins Tracey Collins from the Wild About Story Bookshop to share some of the fascinating folk tales from the book, and talk about where these stories are from and how she came to collect them. Enjoy some complimentary FIKA* while you listen!
