Christian Peter Asbjörnsen (1812-1885) und Jörgen Moe (1813-1882) waren gewissermaßen die Grimms des Nordens. Anfang der Dreißiger Jahre des 19. Jahrhunderts begannen sie, Märchen zu sammeln und aufzuschreiben. Ihre Norske Folkeeventyr erschienen erstmals in den Jahren 1841-1844 in einer Reihe von vier Heften, die Übersetzung von Friedrich Bresemann ins Deutsche erschien 1847. Die Volksmärchen haben nicht nur künstlerischen und nationalen Wert, sondern stellen auch wissenschaftliche Dokumentationen dar, durch die man Erkenntnisse über Vergangenes gewinnen kann.

Often called the Scandinavian "Beauty and the Beast", this Norwegian folktale follows the journey of the youngest daughter of a peasant, who - for the sake of her poor but large family - agrees to leave everything she has ever known and accompany a white bear to his mountain castle. After discovering the white bear’s true identity, she seeks to rescue him from a forced marriage to a troll princess.

These 35 folk tales have been gathered from Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe's landmark 19th-century collections, acclaimed by Jacob Grimm for their freshness and a fullness that "surpass nearly all others." In this sparkling translation by Pat Shaw and Carl Norman are captivating stories of witches, trolls, and ogres; sly foxes and mysterious bears; beautiful princesses and country lads-turned-heroes that brim with the matchless vitality and power of their original telling.

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.

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.

Once upon a time on a long-ago stormy night, a poor farmer encountered a mysterious great white bear who offered to trade him vast wealth in exchange for his handsome youngest son. Though hesitant at first, young Aiden agreed to go with the white bear in order to help his family have a better life and for his many brothers and sisters to get good marriages, while he thought his dream of finding a romantic Prince Charming to call his own may never come true.
