SynopsisThis beautiful Asbj rnsen and Moe folk tale anthology features wondrous stories from Nordic and Norwegian folklore, accompanied by Kay Nielsen's masterful artwork. Edited and collated by Peter Christen Asbj rnsen and J rgen Engebretsen Moe, East of the Sun and West of the Moon is a gorgeously detailed anthology of Nordic and Norwegian folk tales. Featuring stories that are well-known and much-loved, as well as some rarer tales, this volume is completed by the incredible illustrations by Kay Nielsen. Dazzling colour and black-and-white illustrations accompany the text and bring Asbj rnsen and Moe's storytelling to life., 'East of the Sun and West of the Moon' is a collection of Nordic and Norwegian folklore, edited and collated by Peter Christen Asbj rnsen and J rgen Engebretsen Moe. The two men were so closely united in their lives' work that their folk tale anthologies are commonly mentioned only as 'Asbj rnsen and Moe.' This volume contains the classic 'East of the Sun and West of the Moon' and 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff', alongside other lesser-known stories such as 'The Three Princesses of Whiteland', 'The Widow's Son', and 'The Cat on the Dovrefell'. The stories of 'East of the Sun and West of the Moon' are accompanied by the dazzling colour and black and white illustrations of Kay Nielsen (1886 - 1957). Nielsen was a Danish artist belonging to the golden age of illustration. He was influenced by Japanese art and the Swedish folklore - becoming a crucial participant in the Art Nouveaux movement. His art is characterised by long, swooping lines, open spaces and a certain macabre, yet ephemeral quality. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further refine and elucidate the Asbj rnsen and Moe's masterful storytelling. Pook Press celebrates the great 'Golden Age of Illustration' in children's literature - a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue to delight both young and old.
