About the book
Content and approach
Enter the mysterious world of the North while developing your Swedish. This book combines language learning with the legends and folktales of Scandinavia: trolls in the mountains, huldror in dark forests, water spirits in quiet lakes and the hidden folk believed to live unseen alongside people. Stories draw on the traditions of Sweden, Norway, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. Adapted into Swedish at B1 level, they retain the atmosphere and drama of the originals while remaining accessible to learners. Challenging words are highlighted in the text and explained in German after each story. Readers acquire vocabulary through the narrative rather than isolated drills. Ideal for learners with some prior knowledge who want to improve comprehension and discover the fascinating world of Nordic folklore.
