Does the second book on fairy-tales continue the theme lifted in the "Frightful German fairy-tales" : who were fairy-tale monsters in actual fact? The fairy-tales of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland passed literary treatment and lost the lines of ancient horror. Nevertheless very colourful personages live in them and operate. Whether there is a fairy-tale troll by a relative mountain and forest giants or it is necessary to search his family nest in grave burial mounds and bosoms of the sea? Who in olden times did arrange night dances in underground halls? Why did the Snow queen may need two mirrors? Who is populate the Scandinavian bogs and look of what creature oozes through creeping overwater fog? The searches of answers for these questions are accompanied by digressions in the passionate world of norse prose and poetry and in odd - простонародных legends and anecdotes.
