Magic and myth inhabit these chapters in figures both familiar and strange. Giant trolls and talking animals are everywhere. The winds take human form. A one-eyed old woman might seem reminiscent of the Norse god Odin. We meet sly aunts, resourceful princesses, and devious robbers. These stories, set in Norway's majestic landscape of towering mountains and dense forests, are filled with humor, mischief, and sometimes surprisingly cruel twists of fate. All are rendered in the deceptively simple narrative style perfected by Asbjørnsen and Moe.

Märchen von Prinzessinnen, so weiß wie Schnee, so schön wie Rosen. Haut wie Porzellan, Lippen rot wie Blut und die Schönheit einer Rose. Doch so ähnlich sich Schneewittchen und Rosenrot auch sehen, so verschieden sind sie. Hinter der einen trachtet die neidische Stiefmutter, die andere wird von ihrer warmherzigen Familie beschützt. Für die eine sind Zwerge die treuesten Freunde, die andere kennt sie nur als selbstsüchtige Geschöpfe. Die eine trifft ihren Prinzen erst am Ende, die andere wird schon seit langer Zeit von ihm begleitet.

Christian Peter Asbjörnsen (1812-1885) und Jörgen Moe (1813-1882) waren gewissermaßen die Grimms des Nordens. Anfang der Dreißiger Jahre des 19.
