Germanic Myths

This magical book will take you through fairytale Germany—a land of ore-bearing mountains, where kobolds and the reclusive Rübezahl (a prototype of the Headless Horseman) reign, and green forests where mischievous, not very bright elves play—along with their Alder King. Then come heroic legends of knights without fear or blame and fun tall tales about great rogues and tricksters.

You’ll learn who bilwies and alraunes are, what curious ways ancient Germanic people used for divination, who the real Doctor Faust was, and who is doomed to ride in the Wild Hunt until the Last Judgment’s trumpets finally sound.
