Description

These 35 folk tales have been gathered from Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe s landmark nineteenth-century collections, acclaimed by Jacob Grimm for their freshness and a fullness that "surpass nearly all others." In this sparkling translation by Pat Shaw and Carl Norman, accompanied by a selection of the magnificent original illustrations of Erik Werenskiold and Theodor Kittelsen, are captivating stories of witches, trolls, and ogres; sly foxes and mysterious bears; beautiful princesses and country lads-turned-heroes that brim with the matchless vitality and power of their original telling.

About the Author

PETER CHRISTEN ASBJØRNSEN (1812-1885) and JØRGEN MOE (1813-1882), friends from childhood with a long-standing interest in their country s folklore traditions, were inspired by Jacob Grimm to compile a collection of Norwegian folk tales, Norske Folkeeventyr, in 1879. Norske Folkeeventyr continues to be in print to this day.

ERIK WERENSKOLD (1855-1938) was a noted Norwegian painter and illustrator. At the time a young, relatively unknown painter, he was among the artists whose drawings appeared in the first illustrated edition of Norske Folkeeventyr in 1879. They established him as one of Norway s foremost artists.

THEODOR KITTELSEN(1857-1914) was a noted Norwegian artist. At the time young and unknown, he was invited by Erik Werenskold in 1881 to collaborate on a second illustrated edition of Norske Folkeeventyr, which included only their drawings. In 1908 he was made Knight of The Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav.
