Looking for the Hidden Folk

In "Looking for the Hidden Folk," Nancy Marie Brown embarks on a quirky exploration of Icelandic beliefs in elves, examining how history, science, religion, and art shape our understanding of reality and nature. Through her own experiences in Iceland's diverse landscapes, she reflects on the narratives we create and their impact on our relationship with the Earth. Brown argues that embracing a different perspective on nature, as exemplified by Icelanders' belief in elves, could offer hope in addressing the pressing challenges of climate change during the Anthropocene.
