Summary note

"Sub la Meznokta Suno: Nordlandaj Rakontoj" by Lehman Wendell is a collection of folk tales translated from Swedish, written in the early 20th century. This anthology presents a variety of traditional stories from the Nordic regions, showcasing their rich cultural heritage and history. The tales likely feature mythical beings such as giants and kobolds, exploring themes of adventure, wit, and the interplay between human characters and the supernatural. The opening of the book introduces the significance of these Nordic folk stories, emphasizing their impact on the character and domestic life of the people, as well as their influence on literature and history. The translator expresses hope that the tales will inspire interest in the distant and beautiful lands of the North among Esperantists. Following this introduction, the first story features a giant who falls in love with a Lapland girl, revealing a humorous and clever plot where the girl is saved from her fate using wit and deception. This sets a whimsical tone for the collection, combining elements of folklore, adventure, and cleverness throughout the narratives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
