Perfect for: Collectors of illustrated classics or artfully designed books Anyone who enjoys timeless stories, from the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm to Egyptian mythology to Greek classics Adding to the shelf alongside books like D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths , Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, Stephen Fry’s Greek Mythology trilogy ( Mythos , Heroes , Troy ), or Madeline Miller's Circe and Song of Achilles Review: Wonderful stories! - I absolutely loved these stories! I read one each night so I could enjoy each one. The book is beautiful and very well made with a ribbon bookmark. The drawings were beautiful. I plan to order the other books in this series. Review: Loved reading it, especially outloud - The stories were cute, and while I am not an expert on Scandinavian/Norse culture, it felt accurate to how culturally folktales are told in the region. There are tidbits on why stories tend to follow particular themes (such as why most main characters in stories are the youngest sibling). They do provide sources to where the short stories were sourced, so you can tell the authors didn't just make them up and try to pass them off as traditional. As for the content of the stories themselves, there are some damn clever protagonists. Art is super gorgeous too! From a critical standpoint, the author's voice may be difficult for some people, since it is written the way you'd expect traditionally oral stories to be told. I can read it out loud to kids and keep them interested, but just reading it late at night quietly can put me to sleep, since the flow is on the choppy side. If you like to write, there's good inspiration material in here. And if you're interesting in getting to know more about norse folk culture, check it out! ## Features - Offers a fascinating view into Nordic culture|The tales come alive alongside bold contemporary art|Part of the popular Tales series featuring Tales of Japan Celtic Tales Tales of India and Tales of East Africa |A visually gorgeous book that will be at home on the shelf or on the coffee table|A perfect gift for fairy tale and folklore lovers fans of Nordic culture people of Nordic ancestry collectors of illustrated classics and bibliophiles looking for a comforting wintertime read|Add it to the collection of books like D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths by Ingri d'Aulaire and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman and Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes by Edith Hamilton. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #33,938 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Scandinavian Literature (Books) #225 in Short Stories Anthologies #405 in Folklore (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 3,132 Reviews | ## Images ![Nordic Tales - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91sYEie5e9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful stories! *by J***A on August 27, 2025* I absolutely loved these stories!
