DOWNLOAD EBOOKBorn in 1882 John Albert Bauer was a Swedish painter and illustrator. He studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts and in 1904 he illustrated his first book, 'Lappland'. He is best known for his illustrations in early editions of 'Bland tomtar och troll' (Among Gnomes and Trolls), featuring stories of Swedish folklore and fairy tales. Bauer's troll illustrations were of a grotesque style but with a touch of humour, appealing to both children and adults alike. Most of his works are watercolours usually in muted colours over pen and ink line work. This enchanting compilation features 83 of Bauer's best works mostly from various editions of 'Bland tomtar och troll'. This superb collection is certain to delight lovers of fairy tale illustration and also Bauer admirers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe 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.
