Sigrun Eldjarn (b. 1954) is an award-winning illustrator and writer. She has written and illustrated high on sixty children’s books. The first book in the Marsh Tales series was nominated for the Icelandic Literary Prize, and the second book was nominated for the Reykjavik Children’s Book Prize.

“A very entertaining story, full of suspense, mysticism and mirth. The Icelandic legends are used in an unusual way. The text refers both to the past and the present, to classic works and popular culture, and the result is a clever and delightful mixture. The illustrations are abundant and charming, and they add a touch of magic to the story.”
