"East of the Sun and West of the Moon: Old Tales from the North" is
a collection of Norwegian folk tales, collected by Peter Christen
Asbjornsen and Jorgen Moe in the mid-nineteenth century. The
haunting and compelling nature of these folk tales from the frozen
lands of the North and the renowned illustrator Kay Nielsen's
spellbinding illustrations therefore make this one of the most
stunning and beautiful children's books ever produced. Scandinavian
folk tales have had many interpretations through the years, but
never have they been so beautifully depicted as in this wonderful
edition by the Danish illustrator Kay Rasmus Nielsen, the master of
Art Nouveau and fantasy and brought to life in this full color and
unabridged edition. Nielsen was popular in the early 20th century -
the "golden age of illustration" and joined the ranks of Arthur
Rackham and Edmund Dulac in enjoying the success of the gift books
of the early 20th century. He is also known for his collaborations
with Disney, for whom he contributed many story sketches and
illustrations, and especially for his work on this text, lavishing
its pages with 25 intricately detailed color and numerous
black-and-white images that showcase his unique and otherworldly
style and complement these folk tale perfectly.
