From maple-red forests where autumn rustles like whispered stories, to northern lakes so still they hold the sky like glass… Canadian Fairy & Folk Tales gathers the frost-bright and deeply rooted legends of the land ‒stories shaped first by Indigenous nations whose voices echo through cedar smoke, drumbeat, and star knowledge, and later carried through fishing cabins, prairie towns, winter roads, and seaside villages where memory drifts with the tide. Within these pages you will meet trickster spirits like Raven and Nanabush, talking animals who guard sacred pathways, snow beings sculpted from wind, brave children who confront storm and shadow, forest guardians who walk between worlds, and talismans woven from gratitude, courage, song, and the resilient heart of First Peoples. Once told while fire cracked beneath pine rafters and snow pressed softly against the walls, these tales spoke to the child who longed for marvels and to the adult who knew that survival itself can be a kind of magic. Canadian tales are not merely supernatural ‒they are records of endurance, community, wonder, and the ancestral spark that refuses to fade. Open these pages, and the great north will stir again ‒bright, vast, unforgettable.
