 Scandinavian Myths and Legends: The Hidden Folk by G.K. Lund 4*

BLURB: Meet trolls, werewolves, and the mysterious and beautiful hulder who guards the forest.

Out of Norse mythology developed a rich heritage of folklore and the creatures who roamed the Scandinavian mountains and forests.

Among these were the hidden folk, the creatures who remain invisible unless they want to be seen. They could be helpers or the cause of trouble, all depending on their mood. They shaped the landscape and affected people’s everyday lives, all the while longing to be part of human society themselves.

Explore Scandinavian folklore through the mystical hidden folk who connected people and nature. Within these pages are also retellings that breathe life into traditional short Scandinavian tales.

From waning giants to mischievous sprites, danger and enchantment await in a captivating world where anything could happen.

*This is a nonfiction book where the chapters on each creature includes retellings of traditional Scandinavian short tales.
*Contains illustrations of each creature.
*Suitable for anyone interested in folklore and fairytales, Scandinavian culture and history, or fantasy enthusiasts who wish to read about where creatures in modern novels come from.

My Review: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.  I have always loved Myths and Legends from around the world, and it's been a while since I read a non-fiction book about them, so I thought I'd give this a try to see if I learnt anything new from it.

I have to say it was well written, and the illustrations were wonderful. The whole book was fairly entertaining in the way it was presented with traditional tales interspersed throughout. 

If you are like me and are interested in Myths and Legends, and want to learn more as well as see some great illustrations, not forgetting all the short stories about each creature, then go get the book, it's definitely worth a read even if like me you knew most of the facts but not all of the tales.
