An Illustrated Treasury of Swedish Folk and Fairy Tales

'A wonderful tribute to the visionary artist... This is a collection that will enthrall readers with tales of magic, clever children and royalty. This collection will be enjoyed by readers who love folk and fairytales from around the world. Hand it to readers looking to move beyond the traditional tales by Grimm, Perrault and Andersen.'
—Youth Services Book Review, 4 stars

'A wonderfully entertaining collection... Unreservedly recommended for family, elementary school, and community library International Folklore/Mythology/Fairytale collections.' —Midwest Book Review

'Libraries will find that this is an excellent addition to their collections on folk tales.' —School Library Connection

'Republished as a centenary edition, this is a celebration of John Bauer's mysterious and gothic work... Trolls, tomtes and princesses are brought wonderfully to life by Bauer's illustrations. Starting with a fascinating history of his tragically short life, this is a book to treasure.' —JUNO Magazine

'If you relish tales of dark forests, wild creatures, marauding monsters, sinister spellcasters and brave boys and girls (and if you appreciate jaw-dropping illustrations of all of the above) you are my kind of person and you too will relish this book.' —The Alligator's Mouth
