The following volume of Swedish folk-tales represents a careful choice, after the best original sources, of those examples of their kind which not only appeared most colorful and entertaining, but also most racially Swedish in their flavor. For the fairy-tales of each of the three Scandinavian countries, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, have a distinct local color of their own. The wealth of material available has made it possible to give due representation to most types of fairy-tales, from the stories of older origin, the tales of giant, troll, and werewolf, to such delightful tales as Lasse, My Thrall, The Princess and the Glass Mountain and Prince Hat under the Ground colored with the rich and ornate stylistic garb of medieval chivalric poesy. There has been no attempt to rewrite these charming folk-and fairy-tales in the translation.
