The Conscious Craft Philosophy

Anthologies like this are magical. This collection of traditional Norwegian tales transports readers to the enchanting world of Nordic folklore.   Translated and transcribed by folklorists in the 19th century, these stories are at once magical, hilarious, cozy, and chilling. Classic characters of Nordic folklore -- cunning Fox, gullible Wolf and great Bear -- star in these lively stories of mischief and fun. This stunning storybook collection is created by renowned Finnish author-illustrator Pirkko-Liisa Surojegin, with her trademark intricate, authentic and characterful drawings of the creatures and landscapes of Finland.

Reviews

Where the rest of the book is well printed, with sharp text, 4/c watercolor illustrations, and applied ivory page tints, the empty pages were stark white -- forgotten page files? Highly recommend! Most of these were new to me but they are fun to read and can be enjoyed by all. Sadly I opened the box and was so upset that the book was damaged.

Different folklore tales. Nice book but corners look like someone dropped it and page's look warped from moisture but everything else looks good Comes with a bookmark in book.

Super fast delivery to Slovakia, 4 busines days. Great read! Will be returning for a replacement as it was a gift. Update: Original book was returned, and new one was sent immediately, and in new condition.

Beautiful book with gorgeous illustrations and full of wonderful stories about knights and princesses and giants and trolls and witches and dragons and all the good stuff you would expect from your favorite folk tales. I was super excited for this to come on. Thank you! The chapter also tell you which countries the tales are from.

Honest but fair

Excellent book, but was saddened to see the cover had been cut into. What a lovely book, amazing graphic, printed on a heavy paper, wonderful gift for any folktales lover. In an otherwise lovely book, several spreads were blank in the print imposition: 78-79, 82-83, 86-87, 90-91.

I just read it prior to giving it as a gift and I am positive my niece is going to love it. Might want to check the inventory of this press run, delivered on July 15.
