Croatian Tales of Long Ago by Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić
In this collection of six tales, Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić masterfully fuses her original narrative plots with ancient Slavic folk mythology. The result is a rich, fantastic world often compared to those of Hans Christian Andersen or J. R. R. Tolkien. Even though ancient gods, spirits, mythical creatures and magic commonly crossed paths with humans in these 'tales of long ago', humanity still resonates clearly.
For your reading enjoyment, the book has been carefully proofread and typeset according to strict typographic conventions. As the first update to the original English translation from 1922, this version corrects a handful of errors, bringing it closer to the original Croatian edition. Notes and explanations have been updated as well, and in some cases extended with additional information.
'Croatian Tales of Long Ago' for Kindle is fully navigable using Kindle controls.
