About this audiobook
Meet trolls, werewolves, and the mysterious and beautiful hulder who guards the forest.
Out of Norse mythology developed a rich heritage of folklore and the creatures who roamed the Scandinavian mountains and forests.
Among these were the hidden folk, the creatures who remain invisible unless they want to be seen. They could be helpers or the cause of trouble, all depending on their mood. They shaped the landscape and affected people’s everyday lives, all the while longing to be part of human society themselves.
Explore Scandinavian folklore through the mystical hidden folk who connected people and nature. Within these pages are also retellings that breathe life into traditional short Scandinavian folk tales.
From waning giants to mischievous sprites, danger and enchantment await in a captivating world where anything could happen.
*This is a nonfiction book where the chapters on each creature include retellings of traditional Scandinavian short tales.
