Old Estonian folk tales

The ancient Estonian tales published in this collection were collected and processed back in the 19th century by a writer, folklorist Friedrich Reingold Kreitzvald, who is considered an initiator of Estonian literature. Magic and household fairy tales captivate the restrained Baltic humor and elegant fantasy. Among the plots there are both common ones, but retold in their own way, and original, found only in Estonian folklore.

The illustrations of the artist Gunter Reyndorf are more like old engravings and perfectly transfer the reader to the world of the Estonian fairy tale.
