Long a treasure in Norway, the folk tales collected by Peter Christen Asbjornsen and Jorgen Moe have been acclaimed for their richness of humor, fullness of life, and depth of understanding since beginning to translate folk tales more than 100 years ago.
Within these captivating tales we meet witches, troll and ogres, sly foxes and great, mysterious bears, princesses and country lads turned heroes. Collected here in a sparkling contempory translation by Pat Shaw Iversen and Carl Norman, these tales brim with the matchless vitality and power of their original story telling.
