Description

Description from Project Gutenberg (opens in a new tab)

"Croatian Tales of Long Ago" by Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić is a short story collection written in 1916. This masterpiece features newly created fairy tales inspired by ancient Slavic mythology and pre-Christian Croatian folklore. Brlić-Mažuranić's storytelling has been compared to Hans Christian Andersen and J.R.R. Tolkien for her unique blend of original fantasy plots with folk mythology. The collection transports readers to a magical world where ancient legends come alive through imaginative narratives rooted in Croatia's mythological past.
