Under de långa och kalla vinternätterna i Sverige, liksom i hela Norden, hade människor förr i tiden få sätt att roa sig på förutom att fördriva tiden genom övernaturliga berättelser. Det var naturligt att dessa folksagor utspelade sig i den omgivande naturen, skogar, sjöar, floder, bondbyar, och gårdar. I de svenska folksagor förekommer kungar, prinsessor, trollkarlar, dvärgar, jättar och övernaturliga krafter som stod i strid med naturen.Denna bok innehåller ett urval av svenska folkbaserade berättelser som vi noggrant har valt ut från det stora antalet berättelser som författarna Gunnar Olof Hyltén-Cavallius och George Stephens samlat från olika delar av Sverige. Vid början av varje berättelse finns en hänvisning till det landskap som berättelsen härstammar ifrån.Boken Svenska folk-sagor och äventyr har varit en viktig referens inom sin genre sedan den först publicerades på svenska, och vi hoppas att denna bok också kommer vara till nytta för den arabiska läsare som är intresserad av att utforska den svenska kulturarvet och folkberättelserna, särskilt med tanke på att det är sällsynt att hitta svenska folkbaserade berättelser på arabiska bibliotek.
