The motives of the legends of the European North are saturated with our entire culture - from Wagner's operas to Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings". From the songs "Edda" and "Kalevala", from the Scandinavian legends about the Nibelungs, threads are drawn to chivalric novels and the cycle about King Arthur. And folk tales about elves, gnomes and trolls gave rise to the genre of fairy tale fiction - from the Chronicles of Narnia to Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and The Witcher. In the middle of the XNUMXth century, the historian, literary critic and translator Pyotr Polevoy introduced the Russian reader to the legends from the world of Thor and Odin, dragons and Valkyries. His collection of myths and legends of Scandinavia became for Russian schoolchildren the same discovery as Kuhn's "Legends and Myths of Ancient Greece". A century and a half later, this book returns to us with magical illustrations by Joseph Alanen, Robert Wilhelm Ekman, Ferdinand Lecke and other famous artists.
