The Soldier and Mr Scratch - hardcover (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781291147346)

Twenty eight folk and wonder tales taken from the collection of Evald Tang Kristensen and translated into English for the first time. A wife who thinks she's a chicken, a ventriloquist cow, magic purses, cloaks of invisibility, a knife that kills to order and imps by the sack-full; three hairs plucked from The Devil's backside and a girl that comes out of her coffin every night. Steak to order - just ask a troll to gouge it out of his forehead and slap it on the pan. Children to order - just eat a witch's cheese ... and then there was the woman who answered the call of nature and wished she hadn't. The Soldier and Mr Scratch is a companion volume to Tales from Denmark.
