Do you want to know what fairy tales the great Swedish writers Astrid Lindgren and Selma Lagerlöf grew up with and what folk stories they were inspired by? Paradoxically, the marvelous Fairy Tale Universe from which Carlson, Niels and Pippi Longstocking grew up is still virtually unknown to our readers. To close this gap, we present you a collection of Swedish folk tales, carefully extracted from various books and periodicals of the 19th century, imbued with the national spirit and characterized by inimitable richness and purity of language. Almost all the fairy tales included in this book have been published for the FIRST time since 1902. And the magnificent classical translations by E. Chistyakova-Vair and S. Kublitskaya-Piottut. Kublitskaya-Piottukh make this edition even more valuable and sought-after. In the fascinating stories, where fantastic creatures - trolls, dwarves, elves - are necessarily present, the spirit of the great Scandinavia is felt, in their calm, epic narrative lies a quiet majesty that subdues people of all ages and interests, and in the entertaining stories as in a mirror reflect the character of the people, their culture and customs.
