Format: Hardcover
Pages: 416
Date of Release: 22 November 2022

Rooted in the rich Viking and Nordic storytelling tradition, this exquisite Flame Tree Collector’s Edition brings together enchanting folk tales, fairy tales, and moral fables that have shaped storytelling for generations. Drawing from the same deep well of folklore that inspired Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, these stories reflect a world where nature speaks, magic walks beside everyday life, and virtue is quietly rewarded.

Nordic folk and fairy tales are known for blending wonder with wisdom. In these timeless stories, honest labour is honoured, faithfulness is rewarded, and cleverness often triumphs over brute force. Familiar tales like The Little Match Girl sit alongside lesser-known gems such as Katie Woodencloak—a Norwegian Cinderella retold by Asbjørnsen & Moe—offering readers both comfort and discovery.

Steeped in forests, snowbound landscapes, and the unseen forces of the natural world, these stories shaped the moral imagination of Northern Europe and laid the groundwork for much of modern fantasy and speculative fiction. Carefully curated for today’s readers, this edition preserves their emotional warmth while highlighting their cultural and literary importance.

Produced in Flame Tree’s signature collector’s format, the book includes a new introduction that places the tales in historical and cultural context, along with a helpful glossary of terms, making it as informative as it is beautiful.

Perfect for Readers Who:
• Love fairy tales, folklore, and myth-inspired stories
• Enjoy Nordic, Viking, and Scandinavian traditions
• Are fans of Hans Christian Andersen and Grimm-style tales
• Collect beautifully bound mythology and folklore editions
• Want timeless stories that blend magic, morals, and nature
