THIS
IS
AWESOME.
Interactive Icelandic folklore map, gogogo!
Also, because it was some time ago, I translated a Swedish folk tale. From northern Scania this time; I was kind of thumbing through the book looking for something short to work with for an hour or two, and so the story didn't end up being... Particularly unique or exciting. The language is also older and more advanced than what I'm used to and drawing from the medieval storytelling method, it having been recorded during the Romantic movement, and therefore really tricky to translate. Actually, there's a certain verse in it which rhymes in the original, but I was completely unable to convey the meaning in English without ruining the poetic influence.
It's also late now and I'm tired, so there might be some mistakes in the text. Feel free to point them out in that case.
The typical tale of princesses, good helpers, impossible tasks and enchanted items, it is called "Guldäpplen med Silverblad".
( Or simply... )
