Description

Fairytales and legends, literary forms that convey fantastical events, reveal a lot about the culture and identity of the country that produced them. Iceland's abundant nature forms both the stage for and the mirror of the countless myths and legends that run deep through the country's history: raw and mystical, well-loved but often somewhat bizarre. The 45 carefully selected stories here tell of its fantastical creatures, its fateful natural phenomena and its legendary characters. Magnificent photographs conveying the enchanting natural beauty allow a unique and intensive immersive experience in the fantastical worlds of Icelandic fairytales and legends.
