Hard cover, a nice selection of stories, the print is smallish, so it fits quite a few excellent tales between the covers. It holds "East of the Sun and West of the Moon', and "The Forest Bride' The Little Mouse who was a Princess", and others just as lovely. Illustrations by Scandinavian artist Ulla Thynell, lend a nice flare to it. I would have enjoyed it immensely as a child. I found I enjoyed it nearly as much as an adult:) ## Frequently Bought Together - Nordic Tales: Folktales from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Denmark (Nordic Folklore and Stories, Illustrated Nordic Book for Teens and Adults) (Tales of) - Celtic Tales: Fairy Tales and Stories of Enchantment from Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, and Wales - Tales of Japan: Traditional Stories of Monsters and Magic --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/285750482-chronicle-books-nordic-tales](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/285750482-chronicle-books-nordic-tales) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
