⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Captures a wide range of myths and stories around fantastic beasts of the culture
Scandinavia has a rich mythic tradition, not just from the Vikings but also from the native Sami people as well, and this book captures a wide range of myths and stories around fantastic beasts of the culture. Richly illustrated with nearly a 100 creatures, this is worth exploring to understand their origins and even their resonance in a world, as the author writes, of smartphones and satellites.
