Loading... The Complete and Original Norwegian Folktales of Asbjørnsen and Moe (edition 2019)by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen (Author), Tiina Nunnally (Translator), Neil Gaiman (Foreword) CathyGeha | Sep 12, 2019 |   by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen, Jørgen Moe Translated by Tiina Nunnally Having loved Fairy Tales and Folk Tales for all of my life and having read them from many countries I was delighted to find this book up for review and now want to add it to my collection. In this book there is history about the original authors and how they collected the tales, the fact that the authors were influenced by Grimm and more. As I read I saw tales that I remember reading as a child and others that reminded me, in part, of other fairy tales. The illustrations are marvelous. I believe this book is not only historical but relevant and educational and would allow for discussion in classes or between parents and children. Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I buy? Yes, to add to my collection Would I buy it to give as a gift? I think my granddaughters “might” enjoy it. Thank you to NetGalley and University of Minnesota Press for the ARC - This is my honest review. 5 Stars (  ) CathyGeha | Sep 12, 2019 | |
