Nordic Tales: Folktales from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Denmark by Chronicle Books

adventurous challenging dark mysterious reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

3.5

All folkloric tales as promised, and I loved finding the message in their plots. But of some tales the ending was so abrupt, I failed to do so. This made me feel some of these stories were missing something essential. Lost in translation? Or simply cultural differences?
