Description:Thanks to Thiele, to Hylten-Cavallius and Stephens, and to Asbjörnsen and Moe, Scandinavian Folklore is well to the front. Its treasures are many, and of much value. One may be almost sorry to find among them the originals of many of our English tales. Are we indebted to the folk of other nations for all our folk-tales? It would almost seem so.I have introduced into the present volume only one or two stories from the Prose Edda. Space would not allow me to give so much of the Edda as I could have wished.In selecting and translating the matter for this volume, I have endeavoured to make the book such as would afford its readers a fair general view of the main features of the Folklore of the North. - Summary by Charles John TibbitsSection Chapter0 PREFATORY NOTE1 THE WONDERFUL PLOUGH2 HOW A LAD STOLE THE GIANT'S TREASURE3 TALES OF CATS4 THE MAGICIAN'S DAUGHTER5 THE HILL-MAN INVITED TO THE CHRISTENING6 THE MEAL OF FROTHI7 THE LOST BELL8 MAIDEN SWANWHITE AND MAIDEN FOXTAIL9 TALES OF TREASURE10 HOLGER DANSKE11 TALES FROM THE PROSE EDDA12 THE STRANGE BUILDER13 THOR'S JOURNEY TO THE LAND OF GIANTS and HOW THOR WENT A-FISHING14 THE DEATH OF BALDUR15 THE PUNISHMENT OF LOKI16 ORIGIN OF TIIS LAKE17 THERE ARE SUCH WOMEN18 TALES OF THE NISSES19 THE DWARFS' BANQUET20 THE ICELANDIC SORCERESSES21 THE THREE DOGS22 THE LEGEND OF THORGUNNA23 THE LITTLE GLASS SHOE24 HOW LOKI WAGERED HIS HEAD25 THE ADVENTURES OF JOHN DIETRICH26 HOW THORSTON BECAME RICH27 GUDBRAND28 THE DWARF-SWORD TIRFINGWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
