Trolls and elves, evil sorcerers and good wizards, brownies and devils... Once upon a time, in Scandinavia, they believed that these creatures live in dense forests, foggy fjords, and meeting them can change a person’s fate. There were many amazing magical stories about this that remained in the folklore of Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland. Writers from these countries had only to collect them and write their own literary fairy tales. For the first time, fairy tales written in different countries at different times are published under one cover. The fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Sakarias Topelius, Elsa Beskow are a century and a half old, the fairy tales of Astrid Lindgren and Tove Jansson have already become classics, and the works of young Icelandic writers are gradually finding their readers. “The Troll’s Gift” - fairy tales that can be read all year round, and with a special Happy Christmas!
