Product Description
by Vegard Solheim (Author)
In this second booklet of the series we will tell and analyze three famous fairy tales written down by Asbj rnsen & Moe, namely The boy that travelled to the northern wind, The three Billy Goats Bruse and White-Bear-King Valemon. These are well known and more or less "mainstream" tales for Norwegians. In addition to the more famous tales, we will focus on a ballad, which is also a fairy tale in its form, namely Heming and Gyvri. We will tell and analyze two other tales, very local ones, from Valdres in Norway, namely The King s burial mound under T ftstolh vdae and a little story of a local famous soul named Tor Hamre. As you will see, the selection is done for the reader to see the absolute clear pattern in all our tales. This pattern exists, even though the format is different, the tales' compositions are different, if it is a song or a small story or a full-scale Fairy Tale.
