"East of the Sun and West of the Moon: Old Tales from the North" by Asbjørnsen et al. is a collection of traditional folk tales likely compiled in the late 19th century. The stories derive from Norwegian folklore and encapsulate themes of adventure, magic, and transformation, featuring various characters such as brave heroines and mystical creatures. The beginning of this enchanting compilation introduces readers to the story of a poor husbandman who is eventually approached by a mysterious White Bear that offers to make him rich if he will give up his youngest daughter. Initially resistant, the daughter ultimately agrees, leading her to a life of luxury in the company of the bear, who is revealed to be under a curse. Over time, themes of sacrifice, love, and the quest for freedom emerge as she seeks to uncover the truth behind the bear's enchantment, setting the stage for an adventurous and magical narrative filled with trials and triumphs.
