Along the way meet a German beachcomber, a blacksmith from France, and a Polish priest. \u003cbr\u003eThese retellings of old tales include the familiar cast of giants, fairies, and ogres. Magic weaves around them in a talking wind, a flying toad, and a shape-shifting goat. \u003cbr\u003eBut like every retelling, it changes the tales. Each one is grounded in a real landscape, with the features and the creatures distinctive to it. And each one reveals something of the history and culture of the land of its setting. \u003cbr\u003eThe collection builds a celebration of Europe in the days before modernity banished its mystery and magic. \u003cbr\u003eFront cover: Loch an Eilan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 364\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 16, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51754869752096,"sku":"9781035818457","price":24.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d43d5781a86d63a5abb171580bc39d3c.webp?v=1780045360","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/folk-tales-of-old-europe-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
