Revision as of 17:29, 18 October 2021

The lady Frida cycle is a series of books named after the author Lady Frida auf Grannafe and is a series of adventure stories in the same vein as Harald Harding and the Tales of Rikard Guardsman, however where those stories are aimed to younger men and boys is the Frida cycle aimed to younger girls. As most Scanderan literature is the book series very moralistic and educational in it's nature but as it is aimed towards women does it instead of teaching wilderness survival and infantry combat tactics as the aforementioned books does the Lady Frida cycle instead focus a lot on more womanly pastimes such as embroidery, sewing, seduction, mathematics, economics, cooking, and gardening. Another place where the series of books tend to differate itself from both Harald Harding and the Tales of Rikard Guardsman is that it does not follow a family or a single character, instead is a new character introduced in each book. Each tends to be from Blåaland same as Frida herself and tends to follow morally troubled women that are either delinquents, criminals, or deviants in one way shape or form that is transported back to the past where they learn about love, romance, and of course how to be a proper woman. Generally does the heroines settle down and live long and happy lives and the books claims to be a collection of those stories written down by the heroines themselves.

Being herself a native of Blaland has Frida auf Grannafe stated that she was always fascinated by the oversja Scanderan cultures and how they grew up so while her characters tends to be from either Sydvinland or Blaland and travel to Scandera has she also tended to write a few stories where Scanderans are brought back to either pre-scanderan Blaland, Vinland, or the other realms as a way to show "how oversja Scanderan cultures are a mixture of both the home continent but also the native cultures that were raised into Scanderan ranks" in her own words.
