Norway is the northernmost country, full of mysterious magic, covered in legends and fairy tales, the abode of the unbridled power of Nature. Norway's most beloved artist, Theodor Severin Kittelsen (1857–1914), conveyed the beauty and magic of his native land with depth and talent. His illustrations are a guiding thread into the world of northern legends, in which live huge and clumsy Trolls, kind and sometimes very capricious Nisse, dangerous Watermen, enchanted Huldra maidens, evil Witches and immortal, majestic Dragons. The book contains the most famous and beautiful fairy tales, illustrated by Theodor Kittelsen.
