Adapted from the 19th century translations of Asbjörnsen and Moe, award-winning authors Ingri and Edgar Parin d’Aulaire offer readers of all ages a beautiful tribute to Norway, with 21 stories brought to life with distinctive copper plate etchings and drawings. Magical tales include “Cinderlad and the Troll,” “The Maid on the Glass Mountain,” and “The Ship That Went As Well by Land As by Sea.” First printed in 1938, this selection of timeless stories returns to enchant audiences all over again.—Breana Roy
