About This Book

A collection of Swiss folk tales retold for young readers, the stories evoke Alpine landscapes and village customs while blending natural wonder and the supernatural. Individual tales feature mountain giants, dwarfs and confectioners, dragons, frost giants, sunbeam fairies, talking animals, cuckoo-clock spirits, avalanches, and guardians of hunters, often centered on cows, horns, and yodeling. Narratives range from playful fables to moral parables, using vivid mountain imagery to explain natural phenomena and human behavior. Chapters are short, self-contained sketches that preserve regional motifs and oral storytelling rhythms, offering gentle lessons about courage, kindness, and respect for nature.
