Description

Culled from the rich legacy of Norse and German mythology by noted folklorist George Webb Dasent, this collection includes over 40 authentic stories that help make up the folkloric heritage of Western civilization. Included are such favorites as the "Legend of Tannhauser," "The Goatherd" (origin of the Sleepy Hollow legend), "Why the Sea Is Salt," "Dapplegrim," "Boots and His Brothers," "Tatterhood," and many more. Brimming with the bold deeds and exciting adventures of gods and goddesses, mighty warriors, beautiful princesses, giants, and other traditional folklore figures, these stories preserve the ancient myths of Western Europe that have been passed down from generation to generation. Aside from their importance as seminal folk tales, however, these stories are simply good reading - full of passion and excitement, magic, mystery, and sheer storytelling power. They will delight any student or admirer of myths and mythology.
