Noorsche Volksvertellingen by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen

"Noorsche Volksvertellingen" by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen is a collection of Norwegian folktales published beginning in 1841. Created with Jørgen Moe, this work captured Norway's oral traditions during a wave of nationalism following the country's newfound independence. Inspired by the Brothers Grimm, the collectors traveled the countryside gathering stories, then carefully retold them in a simple linguistic style that helped shape the Norwegian written language. The collection grew from a slim pamphlet to encompass over one hundred tales across multiple volumes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
