Vaesen/Nordiska väsen

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.

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.
