Swedish folktales
Swedish fairy tales have been said to be straightforward and sincere. They are a blend of curiosities, like a Herculean boy born from an egg, or a fisherman’s daughter outwitting a sea monster, with good, old-fashioned manners. The greedy and gluttonous never win, but those of good heart, quick wit and honesty live happily ever after. Giants assist the lowly and poor, and farm girls become princesses.
