More Tales from Denmark

A man wearing his wife’s fur coat and a woolly balaclava is chained to a kennel in the back yard whilst another man delivers a side of bacon to The Devil, fish trained to walk, devils in the stove, cats that carry coffins, ogres with a taste for fat little boys and beetles that do the housework – you’ll find them all in More Tales from Denmark. Twenty seven folk and wonder tales taken from the collections of Kamp, Berntsen, Christensen, Levinsen and others and translated into English for the first time, together with five of the best from Sven Grundtvig’s Danish Fairy Tales.
