The Norse equivalent and counterpart to the German collection by the brothers Grimm, this anthology of 15 illustrated folk tales contains the famous title story along with "Why the Sea Is Salt" and "The Three Billy Goats Gruff." The original Norwegian text was published in Christiania in 1843; George Webbe Dasent's translation first appeared in England in 1858. Delightful, fanciful reading for the entire family.
