Icelandic Folktales

Icelandic folktales are strong moral fables, and the close cousins of other Scandinavian origin fairy stories. They are a little darker in their tone, but share many of the same themes of innocence and trickery, triumph of good sense over pride, and the resilience of the strong heroine in the rescue of a feeble prince. A delightful collection.

Basmele populare islandeze sunt fabule morale puternice si verii apropiati ai altor povesti de origine scandinava. Sunt putin mai intunecati in tonul lor, dar impartasesc multe dintre aceleasi teme de inocenta si smecherie, triumful bunului simt asupra mandriei si rezistenta eroinei puternice in salvarea unui print slab.
