Seven Folk-Tales

These are seven folk tales from a book by Jón Árnason, who travelled around Iceland in the seventeenth century and gathered many such tales, which were then published in a book of three volumes. The actors are from amateur groups in the Skagafjördur district, in the north of Iceland, and from the village of Búdardalur in the west of Iceland.
