Your Very Own Fable is different from any other book – here you are the protagonist and in charge. The setting is the world of Icelandic folklore, and dangers lurk at every step. You can come across the Deacon on Myrká, see extremely dangerous Icelandic mermaids, wrestle with the Lagarfljót snake itself and save Karlsson and Búkolla from the most terrifying trolls ever seen in this country! Over 50 different endings.
