In Swedish fairy tales, frogs become beautiful fairy girls, troll girls marry troll princes, kings transform into woodcutters, and little boys go searching for adventure in the forest. This collection of twenty-one marvelous tales includes: <p/><i>The Seven Wishes</i><br><i>The Trolls and the Youngest Tomte</i><br><i>The Changelings</i><br><i>Leap the Elk and Little Princess Cottongrass</i><br><i>The Queen</i><br>And many more <p/>These stories are clever and fun, full of adventure and magic. A world of wonder and mystery is brought to life by the spellbinding art of one of the world's greatest illustrators of fairy tales, John Bauer.
