(Click to Enlarge)

SYNOPSIS: From back cover: "The Dalecarlian Horse from Nusnas is a book for children and adults with facts concerning how to produce Dalecarlian horses." The photographs througout the book are described in both Swedish and English, as well as a couple of other languages, possibly French and Dutch. The publication is about the world-famour Dalecarlian horse or Dala horse (Swedish: Dalahäst) which is a traditional carved and painted wooden statuette of a horse originating in the Swedish province of Dalarna. In the old days the Dala horse was mostly used as a toy for children; in modern times it has become a symbol of Dalarna as well as Sweden in general. Several different types of Dala horses are made, with distinguishing features common to the locality of the site where they are produced. One particular style has, however, become much more common and widespread than others. It is stoutly carved and painted bright red with details and a harness in white, green, yellow and blue.
