Each country that we have lived in or have traveled has their own culture. Various tales and legends are part of each culture. Some tales are spooky, others are magical, and the rest are all just plain weird or incredible.
Well, if you are into this kind of quirkiness or you are secretly dreaming of becoming a treasure hunter, then you might just find "Weird Tales from the Northern Seas: Norwegian Legends" quite a read. This
legend book is authored by the writer, Jonas Lie. I know, the name of the writer itself sounds incredulous already.
Since this is all about the traditional folktales of Norway, don't expect reading about a haunted house on a hill or the sudden disappearance of a
certain teen actress from the public view. Norway is teeming with sea life, folks, so you know how the fairytale or mystery goes, more or less -- strange worlds below the waters, a fish transforming into a sea-wrecked human, or a beautiful girl playing ala Little Mermaid, only this time, she isn't a mermaid, but the island cormorant. One tale that sticks out like a sore thumb is something on a housekeeper becoming a horse. I don't know the exact details, but now, where did that come from?!
