Norway is the northernmost country, full of mysterious magic, covered with legends and fairy tales, the abode of the unbridled power of Nature. Deeply and talented, the beauty and magic of his native land was conveyed by Norway's most beloved artist Theodor Severin Kittelsen (1857-1914). His illustrations are a guiding thread into the world of northern lore, inhabited by huge and clumsy Trolls, the kind and sometimes very capricious Nisse, the dangerous Water, the enchanted virgins of Huldra, the evil Witches and the immortal, majestic Dragons. The book contains the most famous and beautiful fairy tales, illustrated by Theodor Kittelsen.
