Now available in English so that the creatures of Icelandic legend
might knock on new doors...
Iceland, a country of striking and sometimes surreal beauty, is matched
by its rich and extensive folklore. Since time immemorial, Icelanders
have told tales of strange encounters and experiences they have had
while on their travels. From the extraordinary Finngálkn, a crossbreed
of man and beast to the Kráki, a giant octopus that preys on trawlers
and oil rigs, Icelandic folklore is riddled with fantastic tales that
expound natural phenomenon and circumstance with peculiar supernatural
creatures from myth and legend.
Take these tales, passed down from generation to generation throughout
the centuries, make with them what you will and share them again.
First published in Iceland as Duldýrasafnið, The Museum of Hidden

Part of the Wool of Bat series focused on the preservation and promotion
of folklore and oral history from around the world.
