Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A corpse rides over the sea on a coffin and a cat's mess is served up for dinner. Brownies dance on rafters. The Devil carries his skin under his arm and witches, so old that moss grows on their teeth. St. Peter sleeps in a bread oven while a boy sleeps on the roof of his house, his feet still touching the ground. Geese are taught Latin, a monk sets to sea on a millstone and there are enough trolls, ogres and dragons to shake a stick at - there's even a drunken fox thrown in for good measure. You'll find them all in Jens Kamp's Folk and Fairy Tales from Denmark. 57 folk and wonder tales taken from the collection of Jens Kamp and translated into English for the first time.
