Product Information

Another "slightly different variant" is Prinsessen som ingen kunne målbinde, in Eventyrbog for børn, volume 3. [24] Viking academics even believe males were more likely to be drawn to women who had their own cats, as there was a common belief a couple with cats would be more likely to have a happy marriage. Depending on where you visit, from Norway to Denmark, you’ll discover a host of incredible tales about fairies, goblins, and other mythical creatures.

Cats have also appeared throughout various Scandinavian folk tales. For instance, there’s a story about a cat who helps a poor man and eventually asks him to cut of its head. When the cat is decapitated, it turns into a beautiful princess, who marries the man. What were the Viking names for cats?
