W Krainie Gryfitów
W krainie Gryfitów is an anthology of tales, legends and fairy tales connected with the history of Western Pomerania edited by Stanisław Świrko and illustrated by Wiesław Majchrzak. It was published for the first time in 1976. Despite its primarily commercial character, W krainie Gryfitów is a tome useful both to the Polish folklorists, as a basis for a more scientific research into the folklore of the western part of Poland, as well as an attempt to find the Western Pomerania's Slavic roots, due to the constant disconnection and reconnection of this geographic area from the  lands of Poland, since the first union of Polish tribes into one Polish nation under the Mieszko I's of Poland rule. The anthology is filled with short stories and myths about various figures from the folks beliefs, such as Slavic deities, sirens, rusalkas, vodyanoys, spectres, vampires, strzygas and various types of animals. Some stories are also about transforming humans into animals or inanimate objects. Contents. The anthology begins with a "Preface" written by Stanisław Świrko.
