“Scandinavian Folklore and Fairy Tales in Modern English-Language Fantasy Literature” by Daniel A. Rabuzzi is a thorough survey of its object, and lists more works inspired by Scandinavian folklore than you've probably heard of.
(Oh, and look at my name nestling there among the literary and folkloristic legends. )

Looks like the reply guy lost interest. But I think my last toot in the thread may interest those who appreciate the concept of #EthicalFolklore.

@animalculum It's interesting that "bloody snow" is an important topic in old lore, Christian legends of Middle Ages, and cultural heritage. It would be very interesting to analyse these texts for their connection with climate history, like warming periods.

My better half wants to read #KALEVIPUEG again.
#Kalevipoeg, a giant, travels to #Finland in search of his kidnapped mother.
On returning to #Estonia Kalevipoeg becomes king after defeating his brothers in a stone hurling competition.
He constructs towns & forts & tills the land in Estonia.
Kalevipoeg then journeys to the ends of the earth to expand his knowledge. He defeats #Satan in a trial of strength & rescues 3 maidens from hell.
This year, shall I put together an illustrated electronic (.epub/ .pdf) Christmas annual of Norwegian folktales and legends that are unknown in English? (I need to get planning already.)
