Travel back in time to when folklore and superstitions were strongly part of everyday life in Sweden. How did the landscape, climate, and history affect the stories? How did the stories in turn affect the people? What traces of folklore and superstition live on in present day Swedish society from days gone by? This class will present all reading materials in English.

This class meets four Tuesdays in a row, starting November 29

An evening class is also offered from 6 to 8pm.
Instructor: Ingela-Selda Eilert Haaland
