Had one of those classes in highschool- things like "going down six stone steps" alluded to death & the depth of a grave.
Grimes fairy tales & works of Hans Christian Anderson might be helpful.
Minot North Dakota has a Scandinavian center which might have resources.

I agree with Kath about looking for local library resources. Are you near a university? Universities have lots of resources. The university in my town has a deal. For $50/year, community members can checkout materials. Or for free, you can just go into the library, take books off the shelf and read them (take photos, too).
But most important is to sk for a university reference librarian. Reference librarians are dedicated to finding info for the public.
