One of the recurring cultural events in European culture is the vision of the mythical dragon slayer. He appears in many shapes and under different names, but the essence of the stories is the cultural hero who, despite poor odds, kills the great dragon or serpent in the mythical landscape.
This beautiful folder contains the stamp sheet "Regin the Blacksmith" and a brief text in English and Chinese telling the story.
The stamp sheet is designed by Anker Eli Petersen.
