A book filled with fairy tales and legends from Denmark.
I have chosen 27 favorites and Tea Bendix has created a magical universe with her illustrations.
to be published by The History Press
October 2023.
Read about the history, the landscapes stories and the fairy tales from Denmark from a storyteller that lived in the country for 59 years.
You will discover how the flat landscapes full of people inspired the folk of Denmark to tell stories of deep emotions and dark tragedies in the forests, in the marsh and at sea; how a queen was as mighty as the country itself and how that inspired a song; about how people of the flat land of Lolland in the south survived a flood with waves 3m high; and about creatures that lurk in the darkness of Denmark's hidden corners.
30 Illustrations, black and white
