Appearance[]
A library book about the Marra, which appears in Chapter 6: The Nightmare Spirit.
Kaisa brings this book to Hilda, David, and Frida when they are discussing their encounter with David's Marra in the Huldrawood.
Contents[]
The book is partially illustrated, and it describes the capabilities, weaknesses, hunting grounds, and predation habits of the marra. The word "tales" in the title suggests that the book may also serve as an anthology of stories about marras (either real or fictitious).
