Welcome to the World of Svend-Erik Engh


To describe Engh’s style as timeless would be too commonplace, an old soul, a rare and talented performer, Engh does superb work and presents centuries of pain to audiences while reminding them of the value of life, and even a smile.

Here you’ll find stories from north and south, from the realms of truth and myth — tales of people, courage, madness, and heart.


I am a storyteller, author, and performer.
I’ve stood on stages in Denmark, Sweden, Spain, and Scotland — told tales in churches and festivals, beneath beech trees and in care homes.


My work ranges from 'Gullrun’s Saga' and 'Danish Folktales' to deeply personal stories of life, loss, and survival.


BBC Storytelling


We visit Hnitbjorg from Norse mythology with storyteller Svend-Erik Engh. 

Hnitbjorg is this mythical mountain where Odin, chief of the gods, stole the mead of poetry from the giant Suttung.


In his second series for The Essay, composer Erland Cooper turns his attention once again to the mythical world. This time he embarks on five imaginary journeys to mythic mountains from around the world, scored by Erland's own music. Accompanying him are writers and storytellers who know all about these legendary locations.
