{"product_id":"9781907256585","title":"Wonder Tales From Baltic Wizards","description":"The selections in this book come from German and English sources. There is a mass of East Baltic folk-lore from which to choose which gives but a feeble idea of the extent of Baltic folk-lore. \u003cp\u003eIn this volume you will find tales of Enchantments, Wizards, Witches, Magic Spells, Nixy Queens, Giants, Fairy White Reindeer, and glittering Treasures from the Baltic Lands -- Lapland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.\u003cbr\u003eTheir setting is the Long Winter Night with its brilliant play of Northern Lights over the snow-covered tundra; or the brief Arctic summer--its sun burning night and day--with its birds, flowers, insect-clouds, singing waters, and almost tropic heat; or the golden sunshine of the southern amber coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut it is the Northern Lights themselves, flashing and flaming through the dark heavens, that cast their mystic weirdness over many of these tales moulded by the peculiar imagination of the Asiatic and European East Baltic folks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe farther our stories draw south from Lapland, the lower sink the Northern Lights and their influence on folk-tales, till at last they merge with the warmer lights of Lithuania - the amber-land. Wizards and wizardry abound in Lappish, Finnish, and Estonian tales, Witches appear more often in Latvian and Lithuanian ones. And in all these countries except Lapland, many European folk-tale themes, which we know in the Grimm collection, are found in new forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e33% of the net profit from this book will be donated to charities.\u003cbr\u003eYESTERDAY'S BOOKS for TOMORROW'S EDUCATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abela Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053131448560,"sku":"9781907256585","price":9.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781907256585_p0.jpg?v=1763618727","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781907256585","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
