‘I summoned my courage, took a hammock and some maps and set out to walk in the stunning landscapes of Lofoten and beyond. For years I had wondered if it would still be possible to go out and collect stories. Raw stories that had been passed on by word of mouth since before people could read.'
Norway’s tiny population has a vibrant storytelling tradition – myths, legends and sagas from bogs and snow-capped peaks, some lyrical, others outlandish, all united by their connection to a harsh but splendid nature.
In this collection by wandering storyteller Georgiana Keable, you will find beloved classics retold for modern times, alongside stories never printed before.
GEORGIANA KEABLE is a pioneer for the renaissance of storytelling and she likes adventures. She founded ‘Fortellerhuset’ (The Storytelling House), the Norwegian Storytelling Festival and Storytelling Radio, and received Oslo’s Artists Prize for an outstanding contribution to cultural life. Leading work for biodiversity and storytelling, she has taken thousands of teenagers on the Norwegian Pilgrims Way and on botanical story adventures, prompting 12-year-olds to spontaneously hug trees and learn their names. In the remote Lofoten Islands, collecting stories by day and sleeping in a hammock, every stranger had a tale of connection with nature. Her prizewinning book The Natural Storyteller was published by Hawthorn Press, who then commissioned Fairytales, Families and Forests (2023). She lives in Tangen, Norway.
