Viking Folk & Fairy Tales by J Jackson

Harald the Viking, The Dwarf-Sword Tirfing, The Princess and the Glass Mountain, The Seven Foals and The Tinderbox are just some of the Nordic and Scandinavian fairy tales that combine the magic of the natural world and with the common sense of the everyday where good folk are rewarded for their hard work, the honest and the faithful are valued.

Dagrún Ósk Jónsdóttir (Foreword) is a folklorist at the University of Iceland and works for the Icelandic Museum Association. In her research, her focus has mostly been on Icelandic folklore: her BA thesis focused on cannibalism in Icelandic folk legends while her MA thesis discussed modern Icelandic accounts relating to Ouija board traditions. Her PhD thesis in folkloristics focused on women, femininity and gendered power relations in Icelandic folk legends. Her research has also included supernatural beings such as ghosts and the hidden people. Dagrún has been active in the dissemination of folklore, put on exhibitions and recently took part in a big project relating to the settlement of Iceland.
