The Icelandic nation has a long and rich history of storytelling. Throughout centuries characterized by hardship, poverty, and dark winters, the Icelanders kept their spirits high and moral values intact by telling each other stories. In this collection of 15 Icelandic folk legends, we get a glimpse of the worldview of the Icelanders in centuries past as they endeavored to understand and cope with the natural phenomena around them. There are stories of malicious ghosts, outlaws living in carved-out boulders, hidden people residing in grassy knolls, trolls that are tripped up by their own stupidity, and much more. In addition, there is one story exemplifying a fairy tale motif that scholars have discovered to be unique to Iceland: that of the good stepmother (The Story of Himinbjörg). Throughout we get a powerful sense of the Icelanders’ beliefs, values, and fears, as well as their strong need to cling to all that was pure and good.

Excerpt from Icelandic Legends Those who are thoroughly acquainted with the literature of Iceland are agreed that, so far as the historical part of it is concerned, it holds a distinguished place among the literatures of the world, next indeed to the classics of ancient Greece and Rome. And though its historians, the authors of its noble sagas, have been men of high learning and cultivated minds, its peasants, uncultivated and unlearned, have been those who have handed down to us the traditional lore of the country, the poetical and imaginative tales of elves, trolls, ghosts, goblins, and monsters; some contentin g themselves with telling them often by the Winter fire; others adding stories from their own mental testimonies. And thus, in the course of many years, the mass of such stories has accumulated, until at length, becoming perhaps too Unwieldy for oral tradition, it has been committed to paper by the peasants and others, who were its guardians and possessors, at the earnest and constant request of Mr? J on Arnason. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
