"Icelandic Fairy Tales" by Mrs. Angus W. Hall is a collection of enchanting short stories, translated and edited in the late 19th century. The tales derive from Norse legends and feature a unique twist on classical fairy tale tropes, particularly emphasizing strong and resourceful female characters, such as princesses and peasant maidens, who often rescue their male counterparts. Each story imbues a rich moral lesson while celebrating the whimsical creativity characteristic of folklore. The beginning of the collection introduces the premise of these fairy tales through a preface that explains the choice to adapt native stories for a juvenile audience, ensuring that they remain engaging and appropriate without losing their original charm. The first tale, "The Legend of the King's Three Sons," sets the stage with a royal family facing the challenge of finding a suitable husband for their beloved daughter, Isolde. The story follows the three princes as they embark on quests to retrieve the most valuable gifts, leading to unexpected turns that highlight themes of valor, love, and sacrifice, thus foreshadowing the enchanting narratives that will unfold throughout the anthology.
