Folklore and folklore. Collected by Oddur Björnsson. Jónas Jónasson prepared for printing. Second edition, expanded. Steindór Steindórsson from Hlöður handled the publication.
Folklore and collections and various folk lore, which are formed among the people of all civilized nations and often live unrecorded on their lips for centuries, are rightly held in high esteem and this folk wealth is kept alive and well preserved by the most popular scholars and scientists of the nations. In 1908, a special collection of folk tales was published in Akureyri, called Þjóðtrú og þjóðsagnir . The printer Oddur Björnsson had taken care of the collections for this and paid for the publication, but Sir Jónas Jónasson á Hrafnagil prepared the collection for printing and wrote a significant preface about folktales and folklore and their cultural and historical value. Oddur Björnsson's Folklore Collection has long been sold out, and there has been a great and growing demand for it, especially in recent years, as it is the next most difficult to obtain. Not long ago, a parcel of folktale manuscripts was found in Oddur Björnsson's belongings, which clearly belonged to his first collection. There were quite a few storytellers and scribes, including Oddur himself. But most of the tales were recorded by Benedikt Guðmundsson (1879-1919), a teacher from Hringveri in Tjörnes, and Theódór Friðriksson, a writer (1876-1948), in the years 1907-1911. It is obvious that Sir Jónas has read the manuscript over, corrected spelling errors, and adjusted the wording as best he could. Steindór Steindórsson from Hlöður has now prepared for printing this new and expanded edition of Oddur Björnsson's interesting and entertaining folktale collection. (Cover text).
