Vaesen – Anniversary Edition/Nordiska väsen – Jubileumsutgåva

A vast amount of supernatural beings inhabit the deep and dark forests, still lakes and vast mountain ranges of Scandinavia. When someone mysteriously vanishes, when the milk curdles overnight, when a strange noise is heard from the attic, or an inexplicable illness strikes, then it’s whispered that the Invisible, or the Fair Folk, are at work.

Now in a new anniversary edition with new creatures added, this richly illustrated book by Johan Egerkrans explores the best of Scandinavian folklore and features Neck, the music- making water spirit, Mara, the bringer of nightmares, Huldra, the seductress of the forest, tomtar, mylings, and many  more.

For all ages.

Also published in English at B. Wahlströms.
