When the Lord cast out Lucifer and the rebellious angels, some of the angels fell to Earth rather than Hell, and their bodies shattered into thousands of tiny pieces. From these angelic shards rose the little people: The trolls, the alderfolk, the river-dwelling nøkke and all the other supernatural entities of farm, forest, and moor.
Or so the story goes in Denmark, anyhow.
The Good Neighbours comprises fifteen tales of the supernatural as perceived by the people who lived the tales. Good or evil, benevolent or malicious, our forebears knew that the vætter live everywhere around us. Their reality is interwoven with our own and their interactions with humans spawned stories. Whether amusing or tragic, these stories depict our ancestors' time and how they viewed life.
