About This Item
By P.C. Asbjörnsen and Jörgen Moe. Condition good, some wear to cover. Told by farmers and forest workers who had little contact with courtly life, Norwegian folk tales were not collected and written down until the middle of the 19th Century. The authors, both young students, decided to prepare the first collections for publication in 1837. What the brothers Grimm had done in the field of German folk tales, they wished to do in Norway. They published with their unique, colloquial style for decades. This book features a representative selection of tales that have not appeared recently in English translation.
