Norwegian Fairy Tales

Cozy little villages, troll caves, majestic snowy slopes, and royal palaces—young listeners will travel to a harsh land where incredible miracles happen!

Norway is a country of snowy winters and green mountain meadows, fjords and setters, sharp rocks and cold winds. And the fairy tales here live in a truly special way—their main heroes, trolls, are злые, хитрі й шкідливі, але часом наївні, мов діти. Саме тут добрі принци, прекрасні принцеси, сміливі мисливці й навіть кмітливі хлопчаки перемагають їх.

Thanks to the work of the well-known translator Natalia Budur, the fairy tales have preserved a truly Norwegian spirit. And the colorful, tender watercolor illustrations by Olga Ionaitis will take readers to small villages and up the hills, into troll caves and the kings’ palaces—into a harsh land where real miracles are made.
