Dalahästen

A softcover book of 48 pages that tells the story of one of Sweden’s greatest icons, the Dala horse. Easy to bring along when traveling and as a small gift together with a Dala horse. The history of the Dala horse is a fascinating tale of the simple wooden horse, carved by the fireside during dark winter evenings, which later came to symbolize Dalarna and all of Sweden. This book provides insight into the history of the Dala horse and shows how this noble craft is still practiced today. Through these books, the author and founder of Swedish Icons aims to deliver simple and genuine stories about Swedish icons that contribute to increased pride and the preservation of our natural and cultural heritage for future generations.
