Popular Tales from the Norse: Asbjörnsen and Moe, in Dasent's English

Norwegian tales as Asbjørnsen and Moe collected them: the three billy goats, the giant with no heart in his body, east of the sun and west of the moon, the boy who became rich by not being frightened. Dasent translated them in 1859 in a Norse-sounding English that has never been bettered. The introduction argues that the tales are older than Christianity in the north; the stories argue it better.
