P. Chr Asbjornsen Book order

Peter Christian Asbjørnsen (1812-85) and Jørgen Moe (1813-82) were the first to collect and write down Norwegian fairy tales. Their great achievement was to create a style that preserved the verve and the ripe humor of the tales that were living in the woods and the valleys. Thanks to their work, Norwegian popular speech appeared in writing the first time. In Norwegian Fairy Tales you will find a selection of Asbørnsen & Moe’s tales. Among others the one about the pancake which rolled away into the world and the one about the princess who always wanted to have the last word.

These ten tales by Asbjørnsen and Moe draw you into the rich fantasy world of Norwegian fairy tales, and Ivo Caprinos fairy tale figures bring the stories to life, making them as real and as captivating as they can otherwise only be experienced with a visit to the Fairy Tale Grotto in Hunderfossen Family Park near Lillehammer.
