A welcome addition to the folklore bookshelf.\u003cbr\u003eDrawn from all four language regions of Switzerland and rooted in the local landscapes, the stories are related in a plainspoken style…morals (be kind to animals; “The Revenge of the Black Cat”), cautionary tales (don’t stare at the neighbors; “The Spalentier”), and legends about particular places (“The Devil’s Bridge”) mix to offer a winsome introduction to classic Swiss stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9783314104886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"NorthSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40591039037646,"sku":"9783314104886","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/O_14011e54-23a7-458f-808e-c0a7abbd1d48.jpg?v=1637747151","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9783314104886","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
