Description
Stories and legends from Denmark's rich cultural heritage are brought to life in this collection of tales. Svend-Erik Engh, who spent 59 years living in Denmark, shares his knowledge of the country's history, landscapes, and fairy tales.
Discover how the flat Danish landscape inspired stories of deep emotions and dark tragedies, from the forests to the sea. Learn about a queen as mighty as the country itself, which inspired a song, and how people on the island of Lolland survived a devastating flood with waves 3m high. Engh also shares tales of mysterious creatures lurking in Denmark's hidden corners.
