Silesian Folk Tales: The book of Rübezahl

Long ago in the region between old Bosnia and Silesia there dwelled The Mountain Spirit, a mischievous yet warmhearted creature who loved his relationship with mankind. This collection of traditional folk tales, originally published in 1915, recount some of his encounters with various people - and how they were either punished or rewarded for their deeds.

Whether you are of Silesian descent or are simply curious about that ancient region of what is now the Czech Republic, if you enjoy folk tales then you're sure to appreciate the trickery of the mighty Rübezahl.
