Sobre IBD

Sweden has many fascinating traditions, some of which are collected here in this wonderful guide to Swedish Christmas traditions and countryside folklore, including tales of trolls, elves and the legend of the wild hunt. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pomona Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
