PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY WYMAN & SONS LTD, READING AND FAKENHAM. ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR PRINTED BY HENRY STONE & SON LTD, BANBURY. A stunning and captivating book, bound in red cloth, with gilt titles on the spine and gorgeous gilt emblem of a soldier charging on horseback with raised sword. No dust jacket and no published date, probably early 20th century around 1914/15. Beautiful gilt edge to top of papers, 284 pages, with fabulous coloured illustrations and black and white engravings throughout the book. Majority of pages are clean, readable and in good order, inside board do have a brown marks from ageing. Overall this is a wonderful book that has stood the test of time being over one hundred years old, and still has plenty to offer young children with imagination and great stories to boot. This book is a used book therefore normal wear, marks and tear apply consistent with use and age. Please see photos to help understand what a great rare treasured book it is. Please note postage/shipping overseas may increase from listed postage/shipping price depending on final destination. Preface: A folk tale, in its primitive plainness of word and entire absence of complexity in thought, is peculiarly sensitive and susceptible to the touch of stranger hands; and he who has been able to acquaint himself with the Norske Folkeeventyr of Asbjornsen and Moe (from which these stories are selected), has an advantage over the reader of an English rendering. Of this advantage Mr Kay Nielsen has fully availed himself: and the exquisite bizarrerie of his drawings aptly express the inner most significance of the old world, old-wives fables. For to term these legends, Nursery Tales, would be to curtail them, by nine-tenths, of their interest. They are the romances of the childhood of nations; they are the never failing springs of sentiment, of sensation, of heroic example, from which primeval peoples drank their fill at will. The quaintness, the tenderness, the grotesque yet realistic intermingling of actuality with supernaturalism, by which the original Norske Folkeeventyr are characterised, will make an appeal to all, as represented in the pictures of Kay Nielsen. And these imperishable traditions, whose base are among the very roots of all antiquity, are here reincarnated in line and colour, to the delight of all who ever knew or now shall know them. Permission to reprint the stories in this book, which originally appeared in Sir G.W. Dasent's "Popular Tales from the Norse", has been obtained from Messrs. George Routledge & Sons Ltd. "The Three Princesses in the Blue Mountain" is printed by arrangement with Messrs. David Nutt: and "prince Lindworm" is newly translated for this volume.…
