Iceland is a land where stories love to hide. With its wild landscapes, long dark nights, and ever-changing weather, it’s no wonder the island is bursting with magical tales. This is the perfect playground for trolls, hidden folk, wizards, sea creatures, and all sorts of delightfully strange beings who may (or may not!) be watching from behind the rocks.
In this charming collection, the beloved scholar Jón R. Hjálmarsson (1922–2018) brings Iceland’s most famous folk and fairy tales back to life. Told with warmth, wit, and a twinkle of magic, these stories feel so vivid you might start looking twice at mountains, cliffs, and lonely paths.
A cozy book for curious readers, folklore lovers, and anyone who enjoys a little magic with their myths. Perfect for quiet evenings, rainy afternoons, or as a truly Icelandic souvenir to take home.
✨ Expect trolls, mysteries, and plenty of Nordic charm
✨ Warning: may cause sudden belief in hidden worldsAvailable languages
