Norse Fairy & Folk Tales

Más información sobre el libro

This collection of Norse Fairy and Folk Tales contains translations of over 25 classic tales. Within them we find the origin of many other folk lore traditions. Many of the tales, particularly those translated by G.W. Dasent, come from Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe's Norske Folkeeventyr (Norwegian Folktales). Asbjørnsen and Moe drew inspiration from the Brothers Grimm believing their work to be of national importance for the newly independent Norway.
