Danish folklore is a rich topic often overlooked, as so few people have gone to the source and diligently written down all the oral traditions of this region. One man changed this, bringing true perseverance and a real joy for the collection of his countries folk tales. This book is the story of that man, Evald Tang Kristensen, with some of the tales he collected. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
