To this day, the old tales are deeply rooted in the nation of Icelanders. Bizarre landscapes and untamed nature have shaped this people for centuries. From this, imaginative stories of land and people, trolls, spirits, elves, saints, wizards, giants, and the devil have emerged and been passed down through generations. Especially during the long winters, these tales enriched daily life and conveyed rules for living, surviving, and thriving in the community. Female protagonists appear alongside men and male beings, matching each other in cunning. Love and longing, tragedy and sorrow, humor and boldness accompany the scenarios in which extraordinary beings, as well as people like you and me, become rebellious or quiet heroines.
