"Anthologies like this are magical. The beautiful pictures make the dark nights seem bearable, and possibly even a bit special. Reading this every evening made me want to curl up in front of a log fire and sink deeper into the words. The perfect present for a winter celebration, or the perfect treat to ease yourself into the cold weather." -Book Murmuration, Holiday gift pick "...filled with fascinating folklore from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Denmark." - Buzzfeed, Holiday Gift Pick "Does anyone ever outgrow fairy tales? "Nordic Tales" and "Tales of Japan" are the latest installments in Chronicle's handsomely illustrated series of traditional folk stories. It's the sort of volume that will age with readers." - Chicago Tribune

    Shipping was fast! Was shipped the same day. Phone was wrapped and packed well. It came exactly as it was described. And it was a very great price! Honestly What I paid for the phone and shipping would have cost me the same amount just to ship it from my location! So thank you for the amazing deal!!!
