Midsummer Night, The longest day of the year, is endowed with great mystical powers. It is the time of the midnight sun, when no corner of the country gets dark. The clouds come down low to touch the land - or the fog rolls in off the ocean - or is it something else entirely? According to Icelandic folklore, cows gain the power of speech for the night, and seals can take a human form. I have chosen this date as the perfect time to release my next work, a collection of Icelandic myths, folklore and fairy tales I have rewritten and updated for today's audience. This new book will be available on Amazon and with a Kindle version, suitable for young readers and will make great bedtime stories. I am very excited to share with you these very old but new tales. Some will seem vaguely familiar but others will be completely new and delightful. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have enjoyed learning them and bringing them into the modern century.
