Martens is a collection of traditional Swedish fairy tales written in the early 20th century. The compilation presents a colorful variety of stories featuring charming elements of Swedish folklore, such as giants, trolls, and enchanted heroes like Knös, who is known for his enormous size and strength. This anthology aims to capture the essence of Swedish culture and storytelling, providing readers with an engaging look into these fantastical tales. At the start of the collection, the opening tale introduces Knös, a boy born from an egg and gifted with tremendous size and strength. As he grows, he faces various challenges, including working as a servant in a king's castle, where he ultimately confronts a sea troll threatening the king's daughters. The narrative unfolds with Knös proving his bravery and strength through several adventures, including fighting trolls and winning the affection of a princess. This sets the tone for the collection, establishing a blend of whimsy, adventure, and moral lessons that resonate throughout the subsequent tales.
